[TRANSCRIPT]:
Most people out there tell you to get the negative people out of your life.
Get the difficult personalities away from you and stay away as far as possible.
I don't think so.
I actually think you should keep those people in your life...for a little while.
And the reason I think that is the most difficult personalities in our
life, they teach us the most about ourselves.
So all those places that we have
reactions, those are all things that we should be working on.
And if you work on that stuff, eventually
those same people that are pulling your chain--you're not going to be interesting
to them anymore, because you're not going to be reacting.
The more you understand your reactions, the less you're going to react,
the more in control you're going to feel and the less interesting you're going
to be to the people that like to pull your strings.
