Don’t yield to the temptation to work solely with people whose background, training, and experience is highly similar to your own. Doing so will be easy and pleasant in many ways, but it will not provide the rich foundation of human resources the new venture needs.

Know Thyself
• We are often unaware of at least some of the factors that affect our behavior.

• We gradually gain insight into ourselves through our relations with other persons.
