Fuel for my success motivation are my school bullies.

But I also had many friends. Like MJ DeMarco's friend who worked slowlane in Motorola.

It is possible that The Millionaire Fastlane stressed my following question already, but I may have missed it out during reading. If so, I should consider looking into that glorious book again, which I should do anyways.

### What should I do with old school friends?

One can not hide success for too long.
As soon as they find out about my success, they will try to kiss my a$$, which is a good thing, and I can just ignore and enjoy.
But what is, in your opinion, a morally correct (or maybe not morally) to do?

## What would you do or what did you do in that situation?

I stick to myself and get away from people who I know will not help me.

As a lot of people say: "Make friends with people who are already where you want to be." This is true. Find them via meetups or some other ways in-person. Because people can lie about who they are online.

A-must-learn-skill is to connect with others and to become a connector. This is a must for success.

Also the thread tag is incorrect.

Yes. This topic has been raised many times during the past 10 years. NONE of my old friends tried to kiss my a$$. NONE! Some of them seemed a bit jealous but that was it. I could still do things with them as long as we had something in common. Golf, running, off-roading, etc...

Is there a reason this post is in the Ask Me Anything section?
