July 2, 2009 10:06 am ReferenceWho are your school friends? With whom do you regularly associate?Think about them for a while. They earn you a reputation, as much as you earning theirs. Where do you base your choice of friends? On money? On popularity, IQ, or common interests? Besides establishing a reputations, your circle of friends has a lot o do with the accomplishment of you purpose. They either support you or not. They contribute to your effective studying or derail you from it, If they are for your effective studying, they too must necessarily be after the same thing. In this case, you made the right choice, because they reinforce your objective. But if your current friends thwart, delay or even detract you from the pursuit of your goal, you may have to reconsider your choice of company.
A saying goes that birds of a feather flock together. you and your friends stick together because you chare things in common. If they do not take studying seriously, you will not be in their company, in the first place. But you say they are not exactly lazy or against serious studying. They are nice but they just need some convincing. By all means, go ahead and convince them. But under no circumtances should they be a deterrent to your progress. In the very least, they should not hamper your effort.
