You cannot prosper with the wrong temperament and in the wrong company.

Perhaps this is one of the most important points in this book. In a previous chapter we discussed how each temperament is suited for certain jobs. Make sure that you are doing a job suited to your particular temperament. If you are a choleric person, find a leadership job that is suitable for choleric people. If you are phlegmatic, ask to be excused from jobs that require a driving, leadership personality! It is in your interest that you work according to your particular temperament. If you do not, you will repeatedly be regarded as a failure.

You cannot prosper in the wrong company. If you do not have to sit with sinners all day long, you are truly blessed. Pray that God will give you people whose company you enjoy.

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful." (Psalms 1:1)
