No. 25: Being Anti-Social.

By default, humanity thrives on interaction.

No family is made up of one person. Neither is there a school, office or religious body that is made up of one person.

The need for socialization, human interaction and engagement cannot be over-emphasized.

You will be the same person you are today in the next 5 years, except for the books you read, and the company you keep.

Because life is not a straight line, there always will be many curves, turns, bends, ups and downs, both in your career and your personal life.

No matter how resilient, educated and self-reliant you are, the role of your spouse, colleagues, peers, leaders, mentors, siblings, religious leaders and even your children cannot be overlooked.

Some will inspire you to prove them right or wrong, some will drive you to achieve more for their sake, some are just there to give you a listening ear – which can be priceless, some are there to intercede and pray for you, while others may just be there to ensure that when you are ready to let your hair down and have a good time, you have company.

Whatever the case, it is in your best interest to be social, and to interact with people. This also ensures you are informed, you are in the know when opportunity approaches, or when danger lurks.
