Personally I am very fond of strawberries and cream, but I have found that for some strange reason, fish prefer worms. So when I went fishing, I didn't think about what I wanted. I thought about what they wanted. I didn't bait the hook with strawberries and cream. Rather, I dangled a worm or grasshopper in front of the fish and said: "Wouldn't you like to have that?" Why not use the same common sense when fishing for people?

Positional leaders ignore the fact that every person has hopes, dreams, desires, and goals of his own. And leaders must bring their vision and the aspirations of the people they lead together in a way that benefits everyone.

Somebody needs what you have to give. It may not be your money; it may be your time. It may be your listening ear. It may be your arms to encourage. It may be your smile to uplift. Who knows? Maybe just like that little baby, putting your arm around somebody and letting him or her know that you care can help begin to heal that person's heart. Maybe you can give a rescuing hug.

I want to make a difference with people who want to make a difference, doing something that makes a difference.

People dont care what you know until they know what you care.

What's the key to relating to others? It's putting yourself in someone else's place instead of putting them in their place.

people with charisma possess an outward focus instead of an inward one. They pay attention to other people, and they desire to add value to them.

You just need to be positive, believe in yourself, and focus on others.

If you want to improve your world, then focus your attention on helping others.

If you will first help people get what they want, they will help you get what you want.

If you want to get your message across, you have to learn how to communicate in someone else's world.

Leaders gain credibility when they suffer with those they lead.
