Your influence

Give, and you will have. Teach, and you will learn.


Listen, and you will be understood. Live with kindness, and
kindness will live with you.


Respect, and you will be respected. Be truthful, and it will
be nearly impossible for others to deceive you.


Keep a generous spirit, and your life will be filled with
abundance. Seek to bring out the best in others, and they'll
give you the best that they have.


Give your genuine encouragement to those who thirst for it
most, and you'll be encouraged beyond all measure. Speak
positively of your world, and your world will be a rich and
fulfilling place.


The world you influence with your thoughts, words and
actions is the world in which you live. Always be your best,
and that world is a great place to be.
