When it comes to influence, TRUST is often the missing piece.

What you have to give, you offer least of all through what you say; in greater part through what you do; but in greatest part through who you are.

How far can you push a rope? Not very far. That's why true influencers don't push.

It's not better to give than to receive. It's insane to try to give and not receive.

Go looking for the best in people and you'll be amazed at how much talent, ingenuity, empathy and good you will find.

Unless you are able to influence the way others think and act, your chances for success are limited.

Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people's interests first.
