A simple story, told to illustrate cause and effect — and to reinforce something I keep reminding you of.
Do not run with the crowd. Because once your thinking drops to their level, your values and your judgment will be completely dragged down into the pit along with them.
It’s like the best student in class — put them in a room full of underachievers for long enough, and their grades will fall too.
Conversely, if you’re placed in an advanced class surrounded by high achievers, you’ll naturally and easily absorb insights that can only be called the secrets of success.
