I think this only really applies to the real quality helpful people. Most people are meh and would not have friends if they followed this. Plus it's hard to determine and in what ways others are less than you.

I'd semi-agree. It's absoluutely true that we become like the people around us, so it's advisable to make friends who make you want to be a better man.
