One of the favourite quotes I read recently was: "Thank those who held you down and eliminate those who held you back" The truth in the quote is that people who hold you down are your enemies. You rise to show them you won't succumb to their attacks. You are aware of these people and you are vigilant to react when they keep you down, as a result we say:"you can't keep a good man down" . As a visionary you ought to keep the right people around you for your vision. This reminds me of another story in the bible, were Marry went to Elizabeth; The baby inside of Elizabeth Jumped for joy. The company you keep should cause your vision to leap. The most dangerous company you can form is those of Good friends with good intentions but they aborting your baby, those people are not holding you down; They might be picking you up to hold you back.
Many people enjoy being at a place were they outshine everyone else, if you the brightest bulb in the room you in the wrong place, get out and be at a room were people think bigger than you, in that way your baby will jump to match the standard. Too many times we enjoy being the best among the dumb, we outshine dead lamps, we look big and great at a place that holds no competition for us. The people I mentor grow because they are among big thinkers as they are, you slip up you slip out, yet we are a family and that has enabled big thinking company that grows, Coca-Cola grows in market share we grow in wealth of wisdom.
Visionaries are carefull of the company they keep. If we all thought the same way then I doubt Apple, RIM,Microsoft or Facebook would be here today. It was when his friend filled a lawsuit against him that Mark Zukerberg realised he kept the wrong company, in hostile situations visionaries see differently than ordinary people. They get knocked down but not knocked out, maybe you knocked down today remember that Steve Jobs fell out of college and sold scraps to make money to go back, Bill gates and all your great names of today. The important thing you need is the right company, the right relationships. Relationships are very important to success. Who you call friend today has a share of the outcome you process for the future. Im not saying abandon your friends but help them think like you befor you think like them.
