Fly with the eagles

I read once that successful people are the ones who know they always have more to learn and unsuccessful people think they have already learned it all. And, of course success does not just mean making money. the thing is that we can learn from so many different places like books, audios, seminars, classes, school, etc. And, learning is not always a good thing. We are learning every day, whether we want to be or not. I am careful these days about what I am learning. we learn form TV, reading, people, and everything we hear and see all day. We may be learning the most form the people that we spend our time with every day. I am always checking in to see if I am learning what I want to be learning from the people around me. Also, not to judge who I think I can learn from. We all have something to learn form everyone. I sometimes learn more from children than from adults. I keep hearing that we are the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with.....income level, relationships, etc. Look around you. Are the people you spend your time with pushing you forward or pulling you back? if they are being negative and non-forwarding, this doesn't necessarily mean that we stop talking to them, maybe we just stop listening to them.
