"لا تطارد الناس. كن نفسك، قم بأمورك الخاصة واجتهد. الأشخاص المناسبون - الذين ينتمون حقًا إلى حياتك - سيأتون إليك. وسيبقون."

The main idea here is about letting things flow naturally when it comes to relationships. It’s about focusing on being your authentic self, working hard, and doing what you love. When you do this, the right people—those who truly matter and who genuinely belong in your life—will find their way to you and stick around.

Let's rewind a bit. This kind of advice probably stems from countless experiences where people feel pressured to fit in or to win approval from others. Think about high school or starting a new job. It’s tempting to do whatever it takes to be liked. But chasing approval can be exhausting and often leads to superficial connections. This quote flips that idea on its head.

Imagine you're at a party. You could spend the entire night trying to impress everyone—jumping from group to group, laughing at jokes you don't find funny, and pretending to be someone you're not. But what if, instead, you just enjoyed yourself? You talked about things you’re passionate about, danced like no one was watching, and were genuinely yourself. You'd probably have a much better time. And guess what? You'd attract people who like you for you, not for the mask you put on.

Take Steve Jobs as an example. He wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea. He was demanding, intense, and a bit of a perfectionist. But he didn’t chase people’s approval. He did his own thing and focused on his vision. Over time, he attracted a team of individuals who believed in what he was doing. These were the right people, the ones who stuck around through the ups and downs, the ones who helped create Apple’s legacy.

So, how do you apply this wisdom in your life? Start with self-awareness. Take a step back and think about your values, passions, and what makes you tick. Focus on enhancing those aspects. Whether it's in your personal or professional life, put your energy into what you love and what you’re good at. This naturally builds confidence. And when you’re confident, you’re more likely to attract like-minded people.

Now, picture this: You're starting at a new school or a new job. It’s intimidating, right? Your first impulse might be to try really hard to make friends. You might feel like you need to change something about yourself to fit in. But instead, what if you just showed up as you are? You engage in activities you enjoy, you share your thoughts honestly in conversations, and you invest time in your work. Over time, you’ll find that you attract individuals who appreciate you for who you are. They come into your life without you having to chase them. And they stay because they value the real you.

This approach isn’t foolproof—life rarely is. Some people won’t stick around, and that’s okay. Their leaving makes space for the right people to come in. So, don’t sweat it. Be yourself and do your thing. The right people will come, and when they do, they’ll stay.
