I have read that if you play tennis with someone who is worse than you, your game will get worse and, conversely, if you play with someone who is better than you, your game will improve.

All my life I have looked to those who are better than me -- as role models -- whether it be with finances or getting ahead on the job, etc, etc., etc. And yes, I can learn from those who may not be "as good as me" (whatever the heck that means) but I will surely improve if I hang out with those who are better.

DH is giving me the "evil eye" since we need to leave in about 20 minutes and I am not dressed so forgive me if I don't respond until much later -- I really have to run.
I have no problem with your post in general. Just would simply say that your comps of.....playing tennis versus befriending another strikes me as curious

I suppose it me....I just do not feel that superior to anyone, and I wonder the criteria for those who follow the principal espoused....what makes you better then another ?
