A Hunch and a Helpful Hint (plus a question)!
“We hang out with people who are the same as us and grow more and more like them.”
This email practically vibrates with anticipation! I feel like we're at the edge of something exciting, and I can't quite put my finger on it yet. That's part of life — the journey of discovery.
Speaking of discovery, I stumbled upon a framework for choosing close friends. It's about PII: Passion, Intelligence, and Integrity. The people we hold dear should be fired up by something, have sharp minds, and importantly, be rock-solid individuals. If someone is lacking that last piece, it might be worth reevaluating the friendship.
But that's just my two cents! What are your thoughts? On PII, or anything else on your mind lately?
I found this quote by Epictetus — it says we hang out with people who are the same as us and grow more and more like them. It captures the power of friendship in shaping who we are.
Any chance you've heard it?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Dolapo Tej.
