Create and keep relationships that steer you in the direction of success. Avoid those who kill your self-confidence and ignore negative energy from those around you. Ask yourself from time to time what your gain is from every relationship.

Be ready to give your time and energy to keep worthy relationships. Good relationships are based on giving and taking, so be willing to play your part and make your own share of sacrifices for it to work.
