Is it true that living with wise people automatially makes u wise & vise versa if u ar living with dull folks

Question

if i stay with wise and intelligent people how can that automatically change me to become wise and intelligent?On the other hand, how can dull people change me when i am already wise but staying with them?

Answer 1
