A Warning About Success

A quick warning about success: As you make the choices (time mgmt, friends, activities) that you need to be successful your social circle will change. You will lose some friends and you will gain different ones. There are certain moods, attitudes and lifestyles that you will not stand for any more. There are certain activities that you will learn are just a waste of your precious time. Some people will resent you, some will want to be your friend for the wrong reason, and some will lift you on their shoulders as you grow. Be sure you know the difference between the three.

As soon as possible surround yourself with the right people for the right reasons. And get rid of the wrong ones fast. They will drag you down.

What did you think about this? Was I dead on or dead wrong?
