Sometimes the most influential thing we can do is listen.

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

Most people just laugh when they hear that the secret to success is giving. Then again, most people are nowhere near as successful as they wish they were.

Truly successful individuals create both immediate and long-lasting influence attracting others to them.

I started out as a television news anchor but I wasn't very good at it. I think I was too positive. I wanted to begin every newscast by saying, 'Good evening, in the news tonight...everything's great! Go to sleep. We'll let you know if anything important comes up.'

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