Meng Mu used to be a neighbor. Meng Mu's "Three Major Movements" are well known. Mencius' mother took pains to move many times in order to give her children a really good environment for growing up, because Meng Mu knew that a good environment can cultivate good people.
Mencius lived near the cemetery when he was a child, so he learned something to worship and played games to deal with funerals. Worried, Meng Mu moved to the market, and Mencius learned something about business and slaughter. It was not until Meng Mu later moved to Gong Xue that Mencius learned how to bow and advance, and Meng Mu took Mencius to settle down.
In the final analysis, Mencius learned to worship, slaughter and etiquette from people.
People are the factors that affect the growth environment, and what people around you do will affect what you do to some extent.

I remember that I was a good boy with good academic performance in the first grade. Every weekend, I take the initiative to go to the teacher's house to make up lessons with my classmates with good academic performance. Although my exam results are not among the best, they are at least among the top ten.
Later, at school, he was blackmailed by some bad students with colorful hair and cigarettes in their mouths and was beaten several times. Unwilling to be beaten, I mixed up with the so-called "big brother" in my class, thinking about revenge.
Since then, I have been inseparable from my classmates and seldom go to make up lessons. I learned the basic skills of smoking and drinking one by one, wondering who to fight today and where to fight tomorrow.
When the final exam results came down, I was carried away by my buddy's loyalty, but I didn't care. In this way, I gradually became what others call a bad boy.
If there were no staggered friends at that time, maybe my life track would be different from now.
But life is broadcast live every day. We should not only reflect on the past, but also grasp the future.

Brother Wu, a college roommate, has nothing to say when playing basketball, but we have been complaining about his capacity for alcohol. Because I was allergic to alcohol, a bottle of beer fell down and my whole body was red. We all ridiculed him as "a man's physique, a boy's drinking capacity".
At the last dinner on the eve of graduation, he passed out after only one and a half bottles. Later, when I went to work, I saw photos of his circle of friends. I often sweated on the court, sipping one by one on the wine table, but there were more and more bottles on the table.
Because of the nature of his work, 99% of his unit is male, and men's two biggest hobbies are basketball and drinking. Playing a game and having a meal after work every day has become a routine in his life.
When we met again a year later, he had already practiced the amazing capacity of "one and a half kilos of white wine, and beer is free to drink". The most amazing thing is that even his allergic constitution has been abruptly changed by him, and the object of ridicule on the wine table has also been changed. He also told us some wine theories similar to "Youth gives a small wine table, and drunken dreams are just drinking".
"Close to Zhu Zhechi, close to jet black." With the change of friends, your past weaknesses may become your unexpected strengths.
But I want to remind readers that drinking is good, but don't be greedy. Drinking too much is not good for your health. )

During college, Xiaotian always said that we don't pursue it, claiming to be a proper scholar. When I was a freshman, I bought a SLR and plunged into the trend of learning photography. He also invited his classmates to appear in the camera for him to practice. At first, we decided that he couldn't learn anything at all, and he might lose interest after a while.
Confirmed our initial prediction, the photography technology he pursued really didn't improve in the past six months, and he sometimes wanted to give up because of his heartache.
But later, Xiaotian met a group of friends who were playing photography outside school, and began to regain hope. Since then, he has rarely appeared in our activities. In addition to attending classes, he basically takes photos, takes photos and retouches with friends outside school. Even in outdoor activities, he stays with insiders and works part-time in a photography shop on weekends.
He seldom makes friends, which makes us elusive, and we don't know how much progress he has made in photography.
The second semester of sophomore year coincides with campus recruitment, and you need a cool photo when making your resume. Xiaotian said for the first time that he would let his brothers in the dormitory take photos of their ID cards for free. When he arrived at the store, he realized that Xiao Tian and his friends had opened their own photography studio in partnership.
After that, I have been seeing him send all kinds of wedding photography and travel photography documentaries in the circle of friends. When there is no class in junior year, he is either filming, or on the way to filming, or staying up late to fix the picture.
By the time we graduated, we were all busy looking for jobs, but he put his photography career into the end, and he had bought a house with the money he earned from playing photography in college, which made us envy.
Sometimes, no matter how big your interest is, you need a group of like-minded friends, and that kind of atmosphere makes you persist invisibly.

Everyone has different circles of work, life and friends, which make up your own small world. In this world, besides unavoidable colleagues and family members, your friends are the most likely to come into contact with.
I will find friends when I need help, when I am in a bad mood, when I meet happy things, I will share them with friends, and I will get together with friends in my spare time.
Most people in a dormitory are taking part in the postgraduate entrance examination. You may join the postgraduate entrance examination without planning to do so.
Everyone in a dormitory is addicted to online games. If you can't play games, you may still be online at midnight.
If you are surrounded by rich people, you will also learn to think of the rich and not let yourself be too poor. If you are surrounded by people who don't want to make progress, you won't be very enterprising; If everyone around you works hard, you won't be a lazy person.
Some people say that there is no absolute thing, and there are always people who can be immune to it.
Yes, nothing is absolute. There are always a few people who can maintain their independent personality and thoughts, but their lives are wonderful. They are the heroes in this game of life and the protagonists with their own aura.
But ask yourself, are you the majority influenced by friends or the minority who can live alone?
Perhaps most readers belong to the former.
I wish you meet the most suitable friend in your life and become the best yourself.
If you can't stay away from inappropriate friends, please keep an independent personality and thoughts. Being alone will make you bring your own aura and become the protagonist in life.
