Why you should always surround yourself with people who are smarter than you.

I have been on the quest to attain knowledge and during my search, I have surrounded myself with people who are very smart.  They come from all walks of life but one thing for sure, they are brilliant.  So many ideas and positive examples of what it takes to be successful come from these associations.

Many times we may feel that we have all the answers and there is always another way to look at a situation and how to work it out in your favor.   It is good to just listen and not interrupt so you can soak in all the information that you are being blessed with.

My friends have blessed me tremendously with books that they have read or ways to obtain information that I never knew was readily available.  Having an open mind will allow you to continue to learn without any biases.

I have also learned a lot by joining some Facebook groups.  A lot of these groups are headed by people who have tried and failed at different ventures but they also bounced back and are now successful.  You cannot learn without failing because failure is a lesson.

Lately, I have been staying away from complainers and people who have no goals in life, not because I think that I am better than anyone but, to move forward with my life on a positive note.  This hunger in me to succeed is getting stronger and stronger and I do not want anything holding me back.

Smart people can point you in the right direction if they are not able to find the answers that you are seeking.  People who volunteer their time seem to have a lot of knowledge because they are not working based on a paycheck.  They are doing a job to give their time to people who are less fortunate.  Many times I have seen volunteers teaching others how to read or how to search for work on the computers.

It is always good to converse with retirees in the field of study that you are interested in because they had a long term career in that occupation and they can clue you in on things that you can expect in that occupation.
