Now I want to encourage you, like I said in the last clip, to actively seek out information,
use everyday situations to find out more about yourself, but be careful. Don't start driving
people crazy asking them all the time, "Well, what did you think? Well did you think I was
expressive enough? Well did you think I was assertive enough? Well how do you think I
sounded? How do you think that went with that coworker? How..." Not all the time. Your friends
and your family are going to be great resources as well as your coworkers to help you start
to understand about yourself and to improve things about yourself, but do not overdo it
with the questioning. You will absolutely drive people crazy and then all of your resources
will be gone. The people will be like, "Don't ask me again. I said you were fine," and I'm
talking about two-ways. Don't everyday be on and on and on. No. I'm talking about specific
situations. "Was I assertive enough?" "Yes." Let it go. Don't be like, "Was I assertive
enough?" "Yeah." "Were you sure I was assertive enough?" "You were fine." "Well, because I
don't really know that I felt like..." "Okay, I said you were assertive enough." So be real
careful about badgering. Even though you're excited and you're encouraged and you're on
this huge self-improvement thing, don't drive people nuts.
