THE PERSON YOU CAN CONTROL<br />
People are not who you want them to be. Kill your<br />
idols. Sure there are things we can learn from people<br />
—but people aren’t going to be what you think they<br />

People, even those people you have put up on a<br />
pedestal, are going to be faulted, weak, egomaniacal,<br />
condescending. They are going to be lazy, entitled,<br />
shortsighted. They will not be perfect. Far from it.<br />
That’s fine. Learn from their weaknesses. Of course:<br />
Learn from their strengths and mimic and copy them in<br />
what they do well. But equally as important: Learn<br />
from their faults.<br />

make them what you want them to be. You can’t make<br />
them who you want them to be.<br />
The only person you can control is you.<br />
