"Keeping good company will make you a better person"

You —

Do you think it is true, that if you surround yourself with good company, you will benefit from it yourself?

I do know that being around positive people can make others feel positive and also there is the issue of peer pressure.

Is a good way to becoming a better muslim finding good/better company?

and what about the better company itself - would they suddenly be surrounded by worse company because they are aroudn you? How will this affect them?

Defo Malcolm X!

I think it's true. Bad company will make you more prone to noticing that your life isn't 'fun' and that to have 'fun', you have to do certain things. Good company helps you be content the Halaal way. (InshaAllah)

A very potent Hadeeth alludes to the fact a person may think a vast array of things, but don't act on them, nor make it public.

Our Nafs [the soul sought by satan] is constantly under attack.
