I have heard this before and it is true. Positive and Negative attitudes are pretty much equal, you do become like those you hang out with. Thanks for the reminder of this subject, I needed to here it again. This is very good stuff! I have heard this before and it is true.

Chinese has a saying that if one is close to vermillion, he will becomes red and if he is close to ink, he will becomes black. Deleting 'bad' company to most people is the toughest thing to do but if we are very clear about our own objectives, we have to delete them or the 'bad' will delete us. How true !

I do find that if I find someone that seems negative at a meeting that I make one try at changing their mood and then I find myself moving away from them if it hasn't changed!

When he talked about this concept, I nodded in agreement. I think of my BNI chapter as one of my MasterMind Groups. I regularly surround myself with talented people who will help me stretch my skills and improve them everyday. Creating BNI chapters with members who continually raise the bar is a worthy goal for all of us. Thanks Ivan. I had the privilege of being in the audience when Jack shared his talk.

It's a pity that many of us don't reach for the delete button sooner, rather than later. This is really good advice.
