| Caring is the rock that has
to be there before love is possible. Caring is feeling what another
person feels. Some people call it empathy. Genuinely caring about
people usually leads to success. And really successful people widen the
circle of people they care about more and more as they grow older.
Mary Kay Ash of Mary Kay Cosmetics once told me something I'll never
forget. She said the one suggestion she got in life that helped her most
was to "pretend that every single person you meet has a sign around his
or her neck that says, 'Make me feel important.'"
--Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy's Drive Ins
When an admirer came up to [Mother Teresa] and asked just how it was
going to be possible to feed these millions of starving people, she
answered that you have to do it just one mouth at a time.
Kindness is a language
that the deaf can hear
and the blind can see.
