A lot of things happened to me recently. And those things made me realised that (or affirmed) the fact:

It’s the people around you that matters most

People around you decides or greatly influences the success of what one does. All we need is one bad worm to spoil the whole show. Successful people like Donald Trump, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates have hordes of brilliant people around them, to help them achieve their goals. You need people with drive, with responsibility, people with are willing to find solutions for their problems and not push them aside (or to someone else). Therefore, we have to weed out those who will stand in your way. Like what Donald Trump always do, “You’re fired

People around you either make or break your day. When you are feeling like shit one day, having a nice chat with someone, or just spending time with him/her makes you feel a whole lot better. It’s not because he/she can solve your woes, but you find comfort around that person. So sometimes I feel very lucky to have met my group of good friends.

That brings me to another point:

Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies even closer

Friends here is defined a people who will be there in times of need. They are the one who may get you out of trouble one day.

Why keep your enemies closer? So that you can watch their every move, keep them under control, remove their element of surprise, enabling you to strike before he/she does.

What a cruel world I live in…
