The process is mutual; for men learn while they teach.” -Seneca If your circle of friends isn’t making you better, and you’re not making them better, then it is time to change your circle. We are often told that we’re the average of the five people we spend the most time with, but I don’t believe most people really believe it–or at least don’t act...
