It sounds like the usual doctrine stuff. This can apply to an individual, but isn't generally true. Close 5 awesome doors, but open two that match you at that

It sounds like the usual doctrine stuff. This can apply to an individual, but isn't generally true. Close 5 awesome doors, but open two that match you at that point. Alienating people is never, ever an option to consider - there can be exceptions, of course - if there isn't honesty, or the person drools on your floor and throws fecal matter on your wall. "I am you and what I see is me." Your personality is reflected through other people. You are a true friend, a helpful person with cool ideas, the other person will follow along, usually. I'll scratch your back and you'll scratch mine. What can be wrong with having everyone as a friend and helping and get helped by the ones that stick over the years?
