Alone With Others

[Vintus]

By the title of this topic, it may seem I am referring to the book by Stephen Batchelor - good easy read, I thought - although this is not the case. I feel as if I am around rather unconscious people, primarily in college, this tends to distract me and brings me to their level, therefore I feel less productive and effective at what task is at hand. My question is; if relating to this situation, what steps were made to overcome this and to feel more conscious and productive?

Be their inspiration and show a motivated attitude to get things done. Brainstorm together but keep it on topic! You might be the leader they need themselves.

believe in yourself and your own efforts. not in the stories of others.
