Can a bad person become good after falling in the company of good people?

A person is known by the company he keeps. It is a fact that company matters much in one's life and people learn and copy many things from the persons with whom they move, have friendship, or work in a workplace. So effect of company on the people is well understood.
It is said that when a person falls in the company of bad people then one picks up some bad habits or traits and eventually becomes a bad person. Bad company is a very fearful matter. It can ruin the life of a good person.
What about the bad person falling in the company of good persons. Does he improve and leaves his bad habits? Is this reversal possible?How effective is the company of good people for him. Is it same as the case of good person falling in the company of bad persons and becoming bad in the process? If yes, then a bad person should turn good in the company of good people.
What do you think about this? What are your experiences?

The nature of the person can be understood if we know the nature of his friends. This is what generally we all think. Even though a person drinks a cool drink in a group where all others drink alcohol, the onlookers may think he is also drinking alcohol only. Even though you drink milk standing under a tadi tree, the people who see you there think that you are drinking tadi only. So if we want to be good we should be friends with good people only.
One bad man in a group of good people may not change automatically unless otherwise, he has the intention of changing himself. It is easy to destruct but difficult to construct. In the same imbibing bad habits is easy but getting rid of them is a tough task.
A bad with the intention of spoiling other people joins a group of good people he can change some of them at least. But if he comes to change, definitely he can become good by strictly following them and implementing their suggestions.

The chances are high. Association of good person/persons lead one to have fear to do bad things.
Once a devotee asked Nabi Mohammad about a bad things. Nabi Mohammad replied,' whatever you hesitate to do are bad things '.
No bad people are in the world by birth but due to association only they become bad. If they even see the activity of a good person the change may come in his mind and chances of feeling bad on his earlier actions.

Not necessarily, a bad man will change even if he joins a company of good people. A slight change can be observed if he is a patient listener of the conversation going on among good fellows. Unfortunately, the bad fellow cannot remain silent for long if exposed to a conducive environment.
The temperament of a bad fellow will be exposed while making a bus fare or a hotel charge, He is sure to apply a bad trick so that he can save his money by way of bargaining. If he fails in an attempt to save money, he can outburst of anger using abusive language. Hence the temperament of a bad fellow is always noticeable despite living in a good company.

When good people fall in the company of bad people then there are good chances that they also become bad. We have seen it happening and there are umpteen number of cases like that. This has more probability of happening in the young age when people do not have maturity to understand the implications of these things.
Many children who fall in bad company ruin their lives and that is why parents should be very cautious about these matters during the growing up period.
The other part of the above post deals with the reverse situation. What happens when bad people get the company of good people? This situation is a bit tricky because it is easy to become bad but much difficult to reform oneself. It is said that old habits die hard which means that it is not easy to change the bad habits in a person and inculcate good things. So in many cases there would not be any improvement in the bad people even after remaining in the company of good people. So the said reverse is not true. In some isolated cases it is possible that a person leaves his bad habits and acquires the good one. Those are the rare cases.

Every person has a basic nature and it will be difficult to completely change a person's nature. A complete transformation from a bad to good person or vice-versa is only possible after a big moment in life. Some become bad because of circumstances and some people become good due to circumstances. It all depends on the situations and company of good or bad people doesn't have that much effect. Just like oil and water can't mix, there are people who don't gel with people of opposite nature. Everyone likes to be with people who has same kind thinking or actions, nobody likes people of opposite nature. Even if someone has a company of good/bad person, it is not going to completely change the way a person thinks. Yes, some people are dominating and they can make you do things which you don't like to do. You should be away from people who can force you to do something bad. In the same way there are people are good by nature and they can affect the way you conduct yourself because you are inspired by them.

Humble yourself or life will do it for you!
