Our reaction to environment can be said to be the tendency to act, think and talk like the people by whom we're surrounded.” – Earl Nightingale “People are not broke at 65 because they've been denied the opportunity to achieve financial independence, but rather because they've conformed to a group which does not stress its importance. They have conformed to their environment.” – Earl Nightingale “Although there's no such thing as an average man, the trouble seems to be that we act as though we're average.” – Earl Nightingale “We must look at ourselves objectively for what we really are: distinct individuals with unlimited opportunity for development in the free world.” – Earl Nightingale “With a purpose, a goal, a man will frequently do more and travel farther in a year than he might otherwise in a lifetime without one.” – Earl Nightingale Hosted on Acast.
