It is important to be mindful of who it is that you are friends with. Not just only in the workplace, but in all aspects of life.
I'm not talking about Steve a couple offices over who you can hi to in the hallway and that's it. No I mean the guys who you go out for drinks with after work. Or the guys who you go golfing with every Saturday morning. Even the fraternity brothers who you have so many memories with.
Depending on their habits, dreams, and personalities, you will mold your own to fit in with them. Your life will be highly influenced by them. It is exactly the reason why its harder to start on a paper early when your teacher says it, but its extremely easy when your friends tell you to.
You are closer with them. Their words and actions have more of an impact. If they are an athletic group, so will you be. Same goes for academics, personality type, and almost anything else you can think of. Are they someone you aspire to be?
Take a look around. Who are you closest with?
Are they holding you back?
