James Malinchak Interviewed On NPR On In The Air In Nevada Community College Part 8

by Stanton Harper

The following is part 8 of the interview of James Malinchak on NPR's In the Air Radio:

John: Do you feel that same way as you begin to read these stories? We listen to the news and all of the heartache that's happening in the world, and we wonder if good news is in the minority and then you grab Chicken Soup for the Soul and all the other stories that never appear in it and all of these are examples of positive life changing things, aren't they?

James: Sure, definitely. I think, in my point of view, the media reports negative stuff because that's what sells. I say that and I have no bones about saying that since I truly believe that. I believe there's a lot good positive stuff taking place out there, and you've got to choose what you surround yourself with as well as who you surround yourself with.

I heard a great quote not too long ago by a famous business philosopher, Jim Rohn. He said, "You will become the average of the five people you choose to hang around most." How about that? Their habits, thoughts and actions are going to rub off on you.

If you don't like the course that you're heading in life then you've got to check out who you're choosing to surround yourself with. I heard a story once, when fish are sick in some kind of tank, when they're sick they don't treat the fish, they treat the surroundings. They treat the tank, clean up the water, and it's no different for our lives. We must sometimes clean up the water and check out the environment we're choosing.

I always say if you want to be a winner just hang around people who are going places. Get those ideas. If you want to be a loser hang around losers. If you want to be a drug dealer go hang out with drug dealers. You will find out what they do, and you'll get their habits. It is no different if you want to go places. Go hang around people who you admire, who you respect, who you want to be like. Those habits will rub off.

John: There's a wonderful dichotomy there because realizing if you are taking on the habits of the five people you hold closest, you could be one of those five people for somebody else. That is a very startling realization to come to. You are not just responsible for your own life but if you think of it that way.

James: You're exactly right. One of the things I personally try and do is the people that I surround myself with; I try to pick them up as much as possible. I encourage rather than discouraged. I read startling statistic years ago that the average person in America today will hear seven negative criticisms every day to every one positive statement. We wonder why we got some of the stuff going on in the world that we have going on. You put enough negative garbage; it is called GIGO (garbage into your mind, garbage in garbage out). Great in, great out. Put bad gas in the car the car will not run right. You put great gas in, good fuel it will run. You keep it up you get the car serviced it will run.

John: So your environment is part of it. Who you keep company with, your own attitude, the fact that you still need to make your own decisions and be accountable for your own decisions are really important.

James: Definitely. Before we cut off, can I give my website?

John: Please do since I want people to get in touch with you.
