b'SUCCESS THANKS TO THOSE AROUND YOU CHAPTER 11SUCCESS THANKS TO THOSE AROUND YOUThe people you surround yourself with, on a daily basis, have a significant influence on your life. Choose the people around you wisely, as they will have a significant impact on your potential for success. If you surround yourself with wise people who are trying to improve themselves, their characteristics will help you improve.On the other hand, if you associate with people who engage in self-destructive habits, those habits will affect you negatively. Stay away from people who try to downplay your ambitions, especially in these unprecedented times.According to Mark Twain, little people always do that, but great people make you feel that you too can become great. Being around like-minded people will help you achieve your goals, and in doing so, help you become extraordinary.Whetheryouarealeader,aboss,anemployee,asocial worker, or a politician, it is important to understand that the path to success is above all the people around you.Dependingonyourgameplanforachievingsuccess,youwillhaveto understand the circumstances and the people to get there.If you are a boss, for example, you will have to make every effort to ensure that you are logically able to act for your success and those around you, because otherwise you will not achieve the expected success.If you are an employee, your success is tied to the organization you work for.
