Hi there,
Thank you dear botanist for your presence and the great speech you gave.
You told about a saying from Imam Ali (a.s.), actually I looked for it on the net and couldn"t find the exact one you meant but arrived to the following saying which you mentioned amidst your speech
"By keeping company of good people you will develop goodness in your character and by avoiding the society of wicked person you will abstain from wickedness" link
I’d like to add some comments too:
1. Some interesting collocations, I learned them for the first time, thank you
"Rang a bell with me" which means "reminded me of something"
"Take something as an example" which "take" here means "assume"
2. I really passed the opportunity!
Dear botanist, can you explain about the meaning of pass here? I think it is not common.
3. Personality that is thought of you by others
Thought of you by others is not a common sentence. The example below shows a common way of saying so:
Others" thoughts of you do not affect your happiness. Only your thoughts about their thoughts affect how you feel.
Actually the points are much and the time is less.
Surely I will try to write more and will be happy to see your comments too
Good night
