Positive

The average masses crave the comfort of the flock. They seek out those who validate their stagnation, hiding from the painful truth of their own mediocrity. But the elite? The elite deliberately put themselves in rooms where they are the smallest, the weakest, and the least experienced. It is a ruthless, necessary crushing of the ego. When you force yourself into the presence of giants, your weakness is exposed and then it is eradicated. You do not rise to the level of your goals; you fall to the level of your peer group. Choose your circle with cold, unyielding precision. Your empire depends on it.
