“Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream.
Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.” ― Lao Tzu.
Men are social creatures by nature. They derive comfort when they associate with other people more so with those who appreciate them. However, this is not always the case due to various factors that affect those who they interact with. Some of them being inadequate understanding as well as the competition spirit and jealous nature of men.
You should recognize that you are the most important person to yourself more so in decision making. Should you love yourself you will come up with decisions aimed at benefiting you though you should not discriminate others.
Trusting that you will succeed in whatever socially acceptable you engage in is an important step towards your success as you will be internally motivated to engage in more and more beneficial activities.
There are those who would wish to associate with you simply by seeing that you have somehow succeeded in life. They will motivate you to do more and more and your relationship will remain healthy. You will feel encouraged as you continue receiving support from all those who appreciate your efforts.

Should you bank on such kind of people as your advisors then your dream will be killed as they will demoralize every effort that you put aiming at succeeding without considering any merit.
There are people in your life who believe in competition. To them they are bitter with you whenever you succeed than them but do not mind about your success if you have not attained their level of prosperity. So, they can even support you provided you won’t outshine them.
You can bank on them up to that extent that you reach a level near theirs. Suppose they are bank owners and you own a microfinance they will keep encouraging you and supporting you materially but if you aim at upgrading to become a bank, they become hostile to you.
There are people who operate in the creative plane of life. Whenever you associate with them you will rarely go wrong even if you copy whatever they are doing they would not hate you all they will do is try to look for alternative ways to survive through creating more avenues to differentiate their product from the rest in the market giving them an upper hand.
If your close friends are a practioners of agribusiness and they sell their products at supermarkets then you borrow an idea from them and start supplying your products in the same supermarkets then they opt to install an app and start to sell their produce online or value add them then sell them as processed food. That is an example of a creative people who are less likely to demoralize your dream instead they will keep challenging you to cast your net wide by becoming more innovative.
There are a group of people who like to brag about how powerful they are. Whenever they support you, they will keep boasting of how they have done a favour to you among many other people who they have rendered a helping hand.
You need not to worry about such people much as they boast they support your ideas thereby uplifting your standards. Do not shy away from associating with them. They hate failure with them you won’t go wrong.
Failure to seek opinion from those possessing more experience on the task that you want to engage in does not guarantee you safety in your undertaking as once you complete your product and release it to the market, they may buy it study it then innovate on it produce a superior product making your commodity to look inferior.
Man is a product of experiences. You are not far away from those who you regularly associate with. Be cautious of those who you associate with as they will play a role in shaping you. Try to protect and actualize your dreams.
