Inspire and mentor your friends. How do you expect to ever be a friend with a billionare if your an ass to people who you percieve as losers according to your standards. Compared to a billionare you are a loser. At least according your standards.
That being said you don't want to associate with people who are drug addicts or unethical and corrupt. You should certainly cultivate relationships with people more succesful than you. How can you seek those relationships though if your unwilling to associate with people who aren't as succesful as you? That would be hypocritical. |
Please do not call me a jackass because you disagree. Especially considering that most people agree with me.
I would totally inspire and mentor my friends!!!!
Remember, I clarified exactly who I think is a loser.
* No job (not looking hard enough)
* No money (lack of motivation to make it)
* Lazy
* Party all the time (unless it’s related to your job)
* Too much drugs
* Too much focus on girls (for guys, mainly 18-25)
* Willingness to NOT step out of comfort zone
If my friends decide not to look for a job, or
are too lazy to want to make money, or
party too much and choose not to stop, or
continue doing drugs, or
focus on girls (or guys) too much or,
aren't willing to step out of their comfort zone...
What would you want me to do? You can't uplift the downtrodden. If they choose to do the things listed above, then it's their life and its up to them how they want to live it.
If they WANT TO learn how to become successful or make a change, then by all means I would help them.

They don't have to be successful as me, but they must have the motivation, drive, and desire to want to be.
A billionaire would choose to be friends with me if he sees my hunger for success.
If there was someone who wasn't as knowledgeable as I was, and they obviously show hunger, then of course I would befriend them.
In my article,
Do You Have a Friend Who's a Loser? Get Rid of Em! | Persuasive.net
I clarified all of this. So if you disagree, please read the entire article first.
Does that make sense?
