"Bill Gates has said that if you took the twenty smartest people out of the Microsoft it would be an insignificant company, and if you ask around the company what its core competency is, they don't say anything about software. They say it's hiring. They know what the scarce resource is." - Geoff Colvin
In business, hiring decisions are far-reaching. And in personal life, what could be as important as choosing good friends? The kind who endure our faults, who strive to improve, who always find ways to be happy, who resist complaint, and who make us better through their example. Friends who get their fun out of commiserating will run a person into the ground, as surely as a river will cut stone. We have the choice to take the high ground by the friends we choose.
