No matter what your talent, there will be people who don’t understand your value-add.

Stay away from these people.

Maybe you’re good at finance, but sales people don’t like you.

Stay away.

Maybe you’re good at detail, but “big-picture” people don’t like you.

Stay away.

Maybe you’re good at technical stuff, but customers don’t like you.

Stay away.

Only spend time with people that appreciate you.
