Chapter (5) Choosing Your Environment

1. Choose your battles wisely. If you fight them all, you will be too tired to win the really important ones.

2. If they are fine without you, then be fine without them.

3. Walk away from things that could be more encouraging you to excel.

4. Never look back at those who have not valued you.

5. Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

6. Avoid people who think you are trying to argue whenever you express yourself.

7. Stay away from people who still see the old you and do not respect the current you.

8. If the conditions do not suit you, leave.

9. You cannot heal in the same environment where you got sick.

10. Stay where your presence is valued and your absence is missed.

11. Please stay away from people who ignore you until they need you.

12. Remember how a person treated you and what a person said to you.

13. It is wiser to be alone than to be in the wrong company.

14. Avoiding people for peace is self-care.
