Your company makes all the difference.

A man is known by the company he keeps.' This is an old saying that remains valid to this day. The people you live and surround yourself with greatly affect your thinking, vision, and working patterns. The views of your buddies and colleagues, those you work with or spend the most time with, seep deep into your subconscious mind. Before you realize it, these changes are taking place within you, influenced by their perspectives. This holds true for both positive and negative influences. You might transform into a better or worse version of yourself. Thus, you are the one who decides the course of your life. When our parents or elders point out our companionship with someone, we might feel upset, but it is their lifelong experience that speaks. Do you remember the story of two parrots who got separated due to a storm and were reared by different masters? Both birds behaved differently - one was very polite and respectful as it lived near an ashram where rishis dwelled. On the other hand, the other parrot turned into a bully as it accompanied dacoits who used to loot and abuse people. So, I would like to emphasize that you should be wise enough to choose good company. This applies not only to people but also to anything you take in through all your senses. Watch or listen to good programs, avoid gossip, especially rumors. Practice meditation and have control over yourself.
