Some researchers explain how most people torm their social groupswith people of their age.Especially,as children and teenagers,evenadults.peopie make their iriends based on proximity()more thananytning else.Even in a college classroom,tne students may not make
friends with those who have similar personalities and interests.It's thepeople they really sit next to.Clearly,who stands to you has thegreatest influence on you.As Jim Rohn has widely said."You are theaverage(平均)of the five people you spend the most time with.”
Over the past ten months,I've paid Ryan,a famous writerofseveral bestselling books,to help with the book I'm writing.Workingwith him has shown me just how low my standards for my work are.
For example,every time I send him a draft(草稿)，he shows me how itcould be 10 times better,and he holds me to that standard.
It's not that my working ability was born low.It's because that Idon't know what I don't know.Working with Ryan has made me realizewhat is possible and what it takes to create something powerful.
Like Ryan,my business partner Richard has wonderful ideas andfar different experience than I have.He has written 36 New York Times
Bestsellers.He's been speaking and doing events for 20 years.Richardalways performs at high levels,and he is also very strict withmebecause my performance is a reflection()on him.It's not a badthing because it creates high pressure()to help me make greatprogress in organizing author training.
In a word,you need to stay with those people who can help yourcalize your level and potential.Staying with people who have higherstandards is the fastest way for you to change.If you don't change yourenvironment,your progress will be very slow.Who you stay with hashuge importance.You can't ignore this.
