Some People Are Toxic, Avoid Them
Milton Glaser - (acclaimed graphic designer, creator of the "I ♥ NY" logo): "Here is the test: You have spent some time with this person, either you have a drink or go for dinner or you go to a ball game. It doesn't matter very much but at the end of that time you observe whether you are more energised or less energised. Whether you are tired or whether you are exhilarated. If you are more tired then you have been poisoned. If you have more energy you have been nourished. The test is almost infallible."

(Now that's a test I've been unconsciously taking for years. I always feel energized after spending time with my carefully-selected circle of friends, and my brothers. But Glaser gives nine other pieces of advice here, it's a good read. (b/w Halley's Comment))
