It's important to make friends with people who have good qualities and can inspire you to be a better person. For instance, imagine you want to get better at playing a sport.

In life, being friends with people who are kind, wise, and hardworking can help you adopt those good habits. These friends can motivate you, give you good advice, and set a positive example. Surrounding yourself with such friends encourages you to grow and become a better version of yourself.
