Nurture relationships with supportive friends, family members, and mentors
Nurture relationships with supportive friends, family members, and mentors.

In the book
Do I respect them? If the answer to all three is yes, hold on tightly. And learn to bring the best out of the people around you — through what one writer calls extreme listening, through coaching rather than talking, and through simple fairness; nurture, deliberately, your relationships with supportive friends, family, and mentors. So choose your circle with care. I once realized, to my own embarrassment, that I had surrounded myself with unsupportive people and was working terribly hard to win a support they were never going to give — a humbling thing to admit. — Friends, Community & Society (Relationships/Community/Society)
