Summary
No man is an island. We survive and thrive not in isolation, but in socialization. In this episode, Simon Sinek shares with us how surrounding yourself with the right people can do wonders.
Simon was already preparing to quit. But one call from a friend was all it took him for him to keep moving forward. Among the thousands of reasons to quit, Simon Sinek found one reason why he should not quit.
People can either drain you or inspire you, so choose wisely. It’s always quality over quantity. Choose to associate yourself with the people that truly see your value and remind you of your worth.
Despite the adversities and distress that life throws at us. Overall, life can still be so beautiful especially if you spend it with the right people.

| 1:03.1 | organize all the information. It was just too complicated. I couldn't do it. And I've |
