laks0;382541why would you wait for him to get rich before getting them out of your circle of friends. Why would you be friends with them in the first place :)
Let me explain what happend with one of my friend. My good close friend during college days came from very poor economic background where he lived in a hut from Scheduled caste neighborhood in a small village. He use to be ok in studies. He was so poor that he had only 2 dresses and couldn't afford to pay the hostel fees. I helped him to some extent financially and once he completed the course, he went back to his village without a job. After 4 months of our course completion, I found out that there is a vacancy for a fresher in a company in madras and with no telephone communication those days, I went to his village travelling for 5 hours, informed him, brought him to my home and facilitated to attend the interview. He did well and got selected at Rs. 2500 per month salary in 1991 which is a 'ok' salary at that time. He became marketing executive selling dyes and chemicals within 3 years and slowly grew in stature. We kept in touch even though my life went different with higher studies and coming to abroad. Later on, I learnt from close friends and from himself without shame that he bribed a lot of companies to sell the items, become a womanizer by visiting prostitutes, completely unethical and immoral and become wealthy with crores. His attitude changed for worse, his arrogance grew and tell me with this short story, how can I be friend with him now?
The definition of friendship varies as old friends who were good at that time became corrupt now and it's impossible for me to again be friendly with old friends who are corrupt. If I get a new friend now, then the first thing I will see his character/attitude and the frequency and wavelength of his personality should match with mine and then in this case your statement hold true.
