Some researchers explain how most people form their social groups with people of their age. Especially, as children and teenagers， even adults， people make their friends based on proximity （邻近） more than anything else． Even in a college classroom，the students may not make friends with those who have similar personalities and interests． It's the people they really sit next to．Clearly，who stands to you has the greatest influence on you．As Jim Rohn has widely said． "You are average （平均） of five people you spend the most time with．"
Over the past ten months， I've paid Ryan， it Famous writer of several bestselling books， to help with the book I'm writing． Working with him has shown me just how low my standards for my work are． For example， every time I send him a drab （草稿）， he shows me how it could be 10 times better，and he holds me to that standard．
It's because that I don't know what I don't know． Working with Ryan has made me realize what is possible and what it takes to create something powerful．
Like Ryan，my business partner Richard has wonderful ideas and far different experience than I have．He has written 36 New York Times Bestsellers．He's been speaking and doing events for 20 years．Richard always performs at high levels，and he is also very strict with me because my performance is a reflection （反映） on him． It's not a bad thing because it creates high pressure （压力） to help me make great progress in organizing author training．
In a word，you need to stay with those people who can help you realize your level and potential．Staying with people who have higher standards is the fastest way for you to change．If you don't change your environment， your progress will be very slow． Who you stay with has huge importance． You can't ignore this．

Nowadays, it never seems we have enough time to realize all of the reading goals (目标) that we set for ourselves. Luckily, we have mobile apps such as Latte Read and GetAbstract to provide abstracts (梗概) of a text. Abstracts are useful tools, especially for students, but like having a friend describe the main content of a story to you, you cannot experience the joy and excitement of reading the original (原来的) text of yourself.
I recently finished reading a thick book of W. Somerset Maugham's collected short stories. It took me around ten years to get through. Thomas Mann's difficult The Magic Mountain took me about six months to read; Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged made me very bored most of the time. Reading a book, whether it is good or bad, is a formative (建设性的) experience. There are plenty of books which I probably shouldn't have taken the time to read. But the challenge of living for a time in the thoughts and experiences of a different history or character makes even the worst book a valuable effort.
Whenever I finish the last line of a book and slowly close it, I like to sit there and think over its lines with a mix of nostalgia (怀旧之情) and pride. I then take the book in hand and find a place for it on my bookshelf. When I step back and look at the books on my shelf, it is as if I am looking at the history of the different lives that I have lived.
Abstracts are useful as a tool to an end, but reading the actual (真正的) book is something much richer. Reading, like anything else in life, is much more about the journey than it ever was the destination (目的地).
