Unfortunately, I have a caustic family, and they show no interest in my academia or hobbies. Potential friends usually turn out to be a dissapointment. When I decided to go back to school I was basically told I would fall flat on my face. Now I am almost a college graduate, and will most likely graduate summa cum laude. It has been a long, arduous path doing it alone, but quite an experience. I feel that I can survive almost anything. Hi Scott,

Life is way to short to not achieve all that you want and to celebrate life with people who love....negativity is simply debilitating.

For me the best thing about this article is amount of concious responses that you have been able to create, thanks again scott for the start and thanks for eveyone elses thoughts(nice reading). If i could however put this thought out there in the hope that a broad problem can be narrowed down a to some key points or indicators of sorts. When is it that we decide if an acquitance is being negative or a realist. As aspiring people we first look forward to what we plan to acheive. A; build a we bsite or b; build a castle in the sky(for argument sake only). If our goal was 'a' then with a good opinion and even without any computer skills but with the desire to learn then this should be encouraged, all other factors aside. Target b; well, what cloud to pick for a start and more on my question. Is it a negative for a friend to discourage this ambition even if it might result in a more positive outcome. Resources saved from trying to achieve the impractical (reluctant to say but maybe impossible). hi everyone, firstly scott nice article.

I agree with most of the points. Positive people around us tend to provide a positive energy which gives us a boost towards our goals. I feel it is an absolute necessary to have such people around you in life. - Gary Hi Scott,

Right now I feel like I'm in the category of having a toxic family. Not that they don't love me. It's just they don't like that I'm a 22 year old entrepreneur. They think I should just focus on work and stick with a company. So lately I have been trying to meet more positive people and spread my positivity to the eWorld. Thanks for the post and check us out at youngwellnow.com. Hello Scott,

Associating with supportive friends is always important, but I think especially in youth when we're less fully formed and may be more easily led in unhelpful directions. Good pointers.
