82/ 365 Birds
of the Same Feather Flock Together
Our environment, the world in which we live
and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations.
When you want to heat up something, you put
it in an oven. To freeze something, you place it in a deep freezer. The object takes
the property of its surroundings. It is the law of nature. We are also
influenced by the people, who surround us. To be a writer, move with writers;
to be an artist, be in the company of artists; to be a musician, spend a lot of
your time with musicians.
To become an expert, we should acquire the
best knowledge. There are two gateways to knowledge: through what we hear and
what we see. Unless you are in the company of right people, you will not have
the opportunity to get exposed to relevant knowledge, appropriate for your
profession.
Introspect and decide the field in which
you want to make a mark. List all the people, who are achieving in that field
and try to spend as much time as possible with them. Join a professional
association, where such people meet and discuss and take active part in such
bodies.
You alone should succeed, but you cannot
succeed alone!
