Vale, personally, I can relate to the "don't hang out with losers" you stated. Someone told me something similar once and I thought it was a bit judgemental or rough, maybe. BUT, at 44, I am going to have to say...my advice was "Don't hang out with losers because you will, believe it or not, become a loser, too, given enough time and association, guaranteed." It was correct, in my opinion, based upon what I know now but it took two decades for me to see it as well as understand it. Everyone will not agree and that is to be expected and even ok. But man, oh man, it is spot on in my book now.
