MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

Friends are important, and who you choose for your friends can have a major impact on the trajectory of your life. "It's not what you know, it's who you know" isn't just a mindless platitude; who you spend time with, talk to, and associate with has a strong hand in determining what you talk about, what you learn, who you meet, and how you interpret your experiences. These, in turn, have a strong influence on what opportunities you find in your life, whether intellectual, vocational, or romantic.

Choose your friends wisely. Choose the people you want as part of your support system in the life you hope to lead. Choose people you respect and admire, people who inspire you. People who encourage you to pursue your ambitions and grow into a better person. People who admire YOU, and are inspired by you to be better people.

You can judge a person's character by the company they keep.

You can predict their future, too.

"I'm guessing it was January 2007, a meeting in Bethesda, we got a bag of bees and just started smashing them on the desk," Charles Wick said. "It was very complicated."
