Decide the type of person you want to be

In this episode, the speaker emphasizes the importance of taking the time to decide the kind of person we want to be. By making this decision beforehand, we can act consistently and consciously in challenging situations. For example, if we decide not to gossip, we can either excuse ourselves or change the direction of the conversation when our friends start gossiping. Similarly, if we decide not to worry about others' opinions, we won't let unflattering comments affect us. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of being consistent in public and private, avoiding hypocrisy. Taking time to reflect on our desired attributes and role models can help in becoming the person we want to be.
