41. Don’t let others steal your time ! Do you know people who want to talk all the time, just for the sake of it; people who just want to be around for no reason and prevent you doing things you want to do ? Nice as you may be, there is only one solution because your priorities have to come first ! Don’t let them waste your time if you are getting nothing positive from it. If they are wasting your time, avoid them like the plague, either totally, or at periods when you cannot afford to waste time. For some, full time avoidance is the only answer. Let them waste their time if they wish, don’t let them waste yours. How you give them the message will depend on your personality, but you have to for your sake.
