Have you ever had someone who doesn’t like you for one reason or another?
Even if you don’t mind them they just seem to attack you for no reason whatsoever.
This isn’t so common but over the past few years, I’ve had one person that always seems to have an opinion on everything I wear or do and always voices it in an attacking manner.
My feelings on the matter are really simple, “fuck that guy” but my attitude towards it has to be different.
I learned this lesson through some mistakes during my college years and as a mentor had really put this into perspective for me.
In my mentor’s first career he was a journalist and when he was new on the scene a veteran journalist kept smearing his name.
Although he had never met the women wherever he went he was told about how awful she was painting him.
Years later my mentor ended up working for the same media outlet as the woman who was smearing his name.
He made it a point to always kill her with kindness and finally after years of this other journalist hating my mentor she gave in and passed him the biggest interview of his career.
The point here is to always kill people with kindness because you never know who’s going to end up in front of you on your path to success.
Burning bridges will only make your path more narrow.
