Whether a person can succeed does not depend on what he knows.

It’s about who he knows.

There is such a true story.

A young man named Chris is very playful.

When he first entered college, his roommates were keen on playing online games. Chris was deeply affected and fell into it.

Soon, his fascination with games reached the point where he forgot to eat and sleep, and his studies stalled for a time.

By chance, Chris met a friend named Mark.

Mark loves programming and learning. He is either reading or studying on weekdays.

After spending time with Mark, Chris gradually gave up his obsession with games.

Later, Mark invited Chris to create a “school social networking site” together, and they named the site Facebook.

A few years later, Facebook had more than 500 million registered users worldwide, becoming one of the most influential social software in the world.

This young man named Mark is Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook.

In 2010, the American “Forbes” magazine selected the world’s top ten young richest people, and 26-year-old Mark Zuckerberg ranked first.

Fellow founder Chris Hughes naturally joins the ranks of billionaires.

Chris once said:

“If I hadn’t met Mark, maybe I would still be a young man who couldn’t extricate himself from the game, or maybe I would be worried about getting a job now.

Meeting Mark changed my life, because how can you be mediocre when you associate with a man who is destined to write legends? “

“Success or failure depends on what you are exposed to.”

The kind of friends you make will determine the kind of future you have. Your tomorrow is actually by your side.

1. Walk with people who respect you

In the vast world, there are all living things, and the different circumstances of each person determine the difference in the three views.

Only by walking with people who understand respect can you get along comfortably and make a relationship go longer.

Although we two old friends have different political opinions and different careers, we are still old friends. It is precisely because we still have a certain attitude of tolerating dissent behind our minds.

At least I can say that my fundamental belief is in acknowledging the freedom of others to experiment.

If even this minimal similarity is eliminated, not only can we not be friends, we will become enemies.

A person who understands respect understands the importance of empathy and will not impose personal thoughts and concepts on others, nor will he indulge his emotions at will and embarrass others.

When you interact with such people, you will feel like a spring breeze and have a real feeling of being valued.

“I thought that others respected me because I was excellent. Later I realized that others respected me because they were excellent.”

When you are with someone who respects you, he will understand your preferences and be tolerant of your personality.

When we get along, you can be yourself openly and live confidently and happily.

Life is very expensive. Leave your time to people you are comfortable with, and your life will not be lonely.

2. Work with positive people

The blogger told such a story:

When she just graduated from college, she was very motivated, but it was always difficult to persist because of a colleague.

Her colleague sits next to her and comments on her life every day.

Whenever she wanted to lose weight, her colleagues would say, “Forget it, it’s not that easy to lose weight.”

Whenever she wanted to take the professional certificate exam, her colleagues would say: “That certificate is very difficult to take, so don’t waste your time.”

Whenever she wanted to perfect the details of her work, her colleagues would advise her: “That’s enough, no matter how good you are, it’s useless.”

As a result, she became more and more frustrated despite being discouraged and disapproved of and felt that her life had no direction.

Working with negative people is what it is.

All they have in their minds are negative thoughts. They can’t strive for it, so they look forward to the failure of others.

Martin Seligman, the father of psychology, said:

“In the face of those people around you who easily bring negative energy to others, if you are not a psychiatrist and cannot have a strong mind to digest other people’s negative energy, then silently alienating and shielding them is the best choice.”

Instead of spending your energy with pessimistic people, make up your mind to stay away.

Whether working or studying, only optimistic people can give us nutrients and lead us to grow.

Surround yourself with hardworking people and you won’t be lazy. Surround yourself with positive people and you won’t feel depressed.

The way to make yourself better and better is not only to make unremitting efforts but more importantly, to surround yourself with hard-working people.

Their enthusiasm for life and career will subtly infect and inspire you, prompting you to get rid of laziness and overcome setbacks.

3. Get along with people who are in a good mood

Have you ever felt this way?

When you are with an emotionally stable person, your mentality will become more peaceful day by day;

When you are with a moody person, your mood will become unstable.

In other words, emotions between people are contagious.

A person with stable emotions seems to have a kind of strength within him.

The landslides and tsunamis in the outside world will not make him lose his normal state; the various difficulties in life will not make him frightened.

They are calm and steady, not surprised by changes, and the magnetic field they exude can easily bring a sense of security to others.

When you get along with such people, your mood will change unconsciously.

You will find that you, who used to get furious over trivial things, will gradually become calmer;

I used to be irritable and restless because of the slightest displeasure, but I gradually became calmer.

The rest of your life is short, and if you get along with people who are in a good mood, your life will be warm and fragrant.

In Hollywood, there is an enduring saying:

A person’s success depends not on what he knows, but on who he knows.

The people around us are the most important part of our living environment.

They change us, like wind and sand to gravel, and water flow to curves. They are subtle and silent.

Being with the wrong person is a terrible drain on yourself.

Only by being with someone who nourishes you can you reach the top of your life and see a different scenery.
