Surround Yourself With People Who Will Tell You The Truth

If you want to grow, if you want to learn,
you must surround yourself with 
people who are not afraid to tell 
you what you need to hear, 
not what you want to hear.

And you must be willing to learn from them.
In the words of Napoleon Hill, "SEEK the counsel
of men who will tell you the truth about 
yourself, even if it hurts you to hear it.
Mere commendation will not bring the
improvement you need."

Do Not Feel Sorry For Yourself

Sorry is not the answer.
In fact, you are done when you feel sorry 
for yourself.
Sorry won't help. 
In your life, there is no room for sorry.
When you feel sorry for yourself, 
you have lost the fight.

Napoleon Hill said, "A man is half whipped
the minute he begins to feel sorry for himself, 
or to spin an alibi with which he would 
explain away his defects."

If you want to be successful in your life,
do not feel sorry for yourself.
And do not ignore your weaknesses.

Why? Because no one is perfect.
