According to the Nobel Prize post, it was said that “Charlie Chaplin was the only person in Hollywood Albert Einstein wanted to meet.”

In 1931, Mr Einstein got the opportunity to meet the biggest name of the silent film era during the premiere of the film CityLights in Los Angeles.

As expected, the meeting between the two geniuses led to some scintillating conversation. A memorable exchange from this conversation was shared by the Nobel Prize committee on Instagram:

“Einstein: ‘What I most admire about your art, is your universality. You don’t say a word, yet the world understands you!’

Chaplin: ‘True. But your glory is even greater! The whole world admires you, even though they don’t understand a word of what you say.'”

The easiest way of catching a flu is by hanging out with someone with a flu. The easiest way to catch bad habits is by hanging out with those with bad habits. Never underestimate the power of association because iron sharpens iron.

You can’t be different from those you closely associate with. Your association will determine your acceleration in life. You can be found with people who are going nowhere and expect to go somewhere.

It is important to mention though that it is not only the people you are found with that will influence you but the people you follow on social media, the songs you listen to, the books you read etc. Just because someone is an influencer doesn’t mean you should follow them. Learn to distinguish between a positive influencer and a negative influencer. Sadly many are bored in life and have no direction and are therefore looking for entertainment more than education. The truth is some of you have been found in bad situations because of negative influencers. Ask yourself if what you are learning from that person you are following is making you better or it’s just putting you under unnecessary pressure and competition. Ask yourself what you would lose if you unfollowed that person. Maybe you are just being used to make money for others.

People who don’t increase you will definitely reduce you. Choose people who inspire. Don’t follow blindly. In the long run it will be you that will be hurt.

A young girl asked an elderly woman:
“Do I really need friends in life?”

The elderly woman responded:
“Yes. Life is truly very rough. There should be someone by your side with whom you can talk for hours without feeling that they would judge you; on whose shoulders you can cry, one who will give you emotional support. When no one will be there for you, they should be there. One who should help you share the good times and overcome the difficult ones.”

The young girl asked:
“Is it true that a fake friend is more dangerous than an enemy?”

The elderly woman responded:
“Yes. It’s because you know who your enemy is and you’re not going to let them get close to you. But a false friend is pretending while getting your trust. They find out your vulnerabilities, your secrets and your dreams. They know which button to press and how to stab you in the back.”

The young girl asked:
“How do I avoid being surrounded by fake friends?”

The elderly woman paused for a short moment, then asked,
“Between a small garden and a forest, which one has more snakes and scorpions?”

The young girl responded:
“The forest, sure!”

The elderly woman smiled, and then said:
“Good! When you keep your circle of friends small like a small garden, the less snakes and scorpions you have to worry about, even rats. The fewer people you hang out with, the fewer problems you have to deal with. When I was young, I had a very big group of friends. But as I grew old and wise with experience, my circle of friends became smaller. I realized that quality outweighs quantity when it comes to friendship. Don’t fool yourself by holding onto the illusion that everyone is your friend. You may have numerous acquaintances, but real friends will always be just a few people you love and trust. The best way to prevent yourself from falling into the fake friend trap is by being more mindful about the size of your circle.”
