“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” 
― E. James Rohn

I don’t know who E. James Rohn is but I do know one thing :

I hang out most with two senior citizens ( one 84 year old father in law and an 81 year old mother in law), my 53 year old maid servant, my 45 year old driver and one of my 50+ friends. Of course my 50+ husband does fit into this equation but the waking hours I spend with him in a single day hardly makes a dent .

So what does that make me? A 63 year old retired maid cum driver cum middle aged matron?

On what basis do motivational speakers make such remarks?
