Do I just say what I feel or should I be open or play it safe&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>One thing I wonder, is if I should scream and shout more? I feel that people take you for being you and what you want people to believe you are! One thing I do is work &#8211; why do I work?<\/p>\n<p>Well, it is simple, I was educated through school, college, some university and my working career by various companies and some amazing individuals. I was able to attend some top courses, seminars, talks, launches and dinners which have had management, Peer&#8217;s, Industry Leaders, Business Owner&#8217;s &amp; Leaders together with celebrities, sports stars and inspirational speakers\/motivators and oh some top sales trainers too. Why do I mention this? Putting it simply, I have done or experienced more than most, whilst I hear and see others sing, dance, shout whilst also getting others to sing their praises when they have done nothing like I have, experienced what I have or been in a room where you experience the vibes, energy and motivation that these events generate!<\/p>\n<p>On reflection, am I jealous or annoyed that these people are considered more successful than myself because they have more &#8216;likes&#8217;, friends or followers than myself? No, why should I be! If they want to spend all their time reading books, reading the internet or watching videos, YouTube or Hangouts &#8211; then fair play to them but wanting to do this and be one-dimensional as they say&#8230;.<em>let them walk the walk &amp; talk the talk<\/em>&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I feel sorry for their so-called fans, followers, tribes, supporters or what ever you want call them! Why, well it is simple, I have worked and experienced what I talk about and provide &#8211; these people haven&#8217;t! Does this remind you of the saying&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><em><strong>&#8220;Those that can &#8211; can!
