Succeeding Like The Pelicans

The pelicans near a fishing village had grown unaccustomed to fishing for their own food, since the local residents had been tossing it to them for years. When the industry dried up, environmentalists feared for the pelicans since they had seemingly forgotten how to fend for themselves.

They imported pelicans from another area and mixed them in with the locals. As the newcomers began foraging for food, it wasn't long before the starving native birds joined them and started fishing for themselves again.

If you find yourself starving for success, one of the best ways to get things going in your life is to be around people who are achieving success. Spend time with them. Watch how they work. Learn how they think. You will inevitably become like the people you are around.
