DO NOT GIVE UP: When Others Drink The Poison & Expect You To Die

There are all kinds of human beings out there. Some will like you, some will despise you and others do not give a damn about you. Then there are some that might not even know and already they do not like you. That’s fine, leaders you know you are not here to please everyone all the time.

Thus, it is only a matter of time when you will encounter someone, for a reason known only to them that they will not want you to be a part of their lives and will do what it takes (short of committing a felony) to keep you out. Let them be. Don’t go stirring the hornet’s nest in a vain attempt to find out why they want you gone so bad. 

Sometimes people do not need a reason to do the things they do. 

When it comes to people caring about themselves there are four kinds of people in the world:

#1 Those that care only about themselves and screw everyone else. That is pretty self explanatory.

#2 Those that do not care about themselves and expect no one to do the same. 

#3 Those that will never care about themselves but go out of their way to care about others.

#4 Those that care about themselves to ensure that they can continue to care about others.

Personally, I like the fourth type of person. That individual recognizes that in order for them to be a successful leader they have to take care of themselves in order to continue to be in a position to take care of others. This leader is one that almost always leads by example. They show their followers that they must take care of themselves first in order to be good enough to take care of and lead others.
