“Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for tis better to be alone than in bad company.” George Washington

         I think this mean to chose the right people you think are great to be helping you. In other reason if you ruin your reputation in that point you know it was better to be on you own. The best help or support you can get is yourself. If you want people to go with the same direction of your idea then start on it take you time of your work. Start with yourself of what to do and what you want to begin then on the way associate yourself with good members that will help. What i think about this quote is sometimes you should trust people you know and if you be distracted you can’t be on your work all time instead you should relax. It still very good to start on something but you need control on how it works and how it will end. People focus of what of they think and people should say their ideas of how their will work. About your reputation you should think or focus how you want to be known of instead of others think. It better to do what works for you and what satisfy yourself.
