So, having talked about why to have the right people in your life, having talked about friends and having talked about acquaintances, I have some simple, but good advice for you that I hope you'll really consider and put into action into your life. So let's take a look at four particular pieces of advice I think you'll find quite valuable, especially if you implement them. So starting with number one, spend time with people who are smarter than you. It might be common for people to want to be the smartest person in the room, it happens all the time. But that may only make you feel better. It doesn't really help you grow.
It doesn't really help you develop, and it doesn't really help you reach your goals. However, being around smarter people than you can really pay off. These people can consciously and unconsciously challenge us to be better in our thoughts and our behavior. So, look for people who are more skilled. Look for people who are just more intelligent. Look for people who are more successful than you, and make friends, spend time and surround yourself with those people.
Number two, get to know people who have already accomplished the same goals that you're looking to accomplish. When you get to know others who have already accomplished the things you hope to accomplish, you can learn a great deal from them that you certainly cannot learn from textbooks in theory. That's the thing about education and university generally, its textbooks in theory, but not necessarily practice. But what you can learn from people who have already gone through the process you're about to go through, that can be golden, you can be aware of the tips and tricks to get things done, the people to meet and talk to the best direction to follow and the mistakes to be Careful of since they may have already made those mistakes. This information, as I said, can be priceless. Three.
If you can't form relationships with these people, then what should you do? Make them friends in your head. It may not always be possible to develop relationships with the people who have already accomplished some of the goals you seek to achieve. That's understandable. So what's the next best thing? Find people who have already successfully achieved what you hope to achieve?
And follow them on social media, listen to their podcasts, read their blogs, read the books and biographies about these people. Soak up information that's available, learn from them from afar. That's the idea of friends in your head, not actual friends, but those heroes you can follow from afar and number four, and this is really important. Save Goodbye to the negative people and the naysayers. Remember that the wrong friends are the wrong decisions. This is especially true with negative people.
These individuals are, as I said earlier, toxic people who always complain people who make fun of others, people who say you can't or you shouldn't work hard for your goals and doubt your abilities. These people, although they may seem to be friends don't deserve to be active participants in your life, you should think seriously about ending that friendship. Furthermore, take a look at your own attitude. If you're a person who always complains and looks down on others, you should seriously think about why your attitude is the way it is and change it. Otherwise you'll become your own worst enemy and will block your own path to success. So I really think this is fantastic advice for you to take in order to Surround yourself with the right people and not the wrong people.
Let's go over quickly what we talked about. Number one, surround yourself with people who are smarter than you more successful than you as well, to surround yourself with people who have already accomplished the same goals you want to accomplish. And if you can't find those people, then the next best thing is to have friends in your head. seek out people who have accomplished those goals that you're trying to accomplish, and read more about them learn from their successes and their failures. And finally, very important, stay away from the negative people and the naysayers, those people who don't have faith in what you can accomplish, disregard those ideas. Okay, so there you have it with four pieces of advice.
Let's get ready for the next section, attracting the right people.
