I. Old Crowd, they are...Agreed for the most part...<br />I. Old Crowd, they are in this category for a reason. Growth is a funny thing, b/c it's usually the people closest to you that see your evolution last. The ones that keep you placed in a box, oh he used to be like this or is always doing that or acts funny...these naysayers are the ones that need to go. No matter how successful you are w/ regard to business or self evolution, THEY WILL NEVER EMBRACE IT, so just move on. On the other hand, the "old crowd," though rare will have glimmers of light of those who have been cheering for you. They see your success and they are proud. They celebrate with you. Those are the keepers. They are hard to find and irreplacable.<br /><br />II. People who try to take advantage of you - If they are not taking advantage of you, trust me they will find someone else, it's a lifestyle, unfortunately. "You feed a sucker, he'll just turn into a bigger leech." Fabulous<br /><br />III. Finding a Mate - "Successful" people may in fact be there own road block on this one. For example, the harder you work, the harder you tend to criticize others. I'm in the company of successful people all the time who want their mates to be X, Y, and Z b/c they've are A, B, and C and have worked so hard to get there. Well NEWS FLASH, everyone has different goals and defines success differently. Maybe, she's content with being a bit thick, driving a Honda Civic and living in her one bdroom apt. But you are looking at her like naw you aren't gonna come up on me. That's a problem. Because she might have just been the SUPPORT you need to get to the next level. And in the instances my successful males friends will accept those criterias she's got to look like a model. Ok that's cool, but guess what, if she does, she's probably been TRADING off her looks and therefore has DOES NOT have an attitude of I'm here to support you, but rather an attitude of I'm here to be a trophey, since clearly, that's what YOU WANT oh and guess what you better keep busting your butt and slaving cause that's HOW YOU GOT ME. <br /><br />"man down, holla!"Madihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642916420736354115noreply@blogger.com
