We don't meet people by accident.

Every person you meet will have a role inyour life, be it big or small. Some will help you grow, some will hurt you,some will inspire you to do better. At the same time, you are playing some rolein their lives as well. Know that paths cross for a reason and treat peoplewith significance.

The best teachers are those who don't tellyou how to get there but show the way.

There is no better joy than helping peoplesee a vision for themselves, seeing them go to levels higher than they everwould have imagined on their own. But that doesn't mean you have to fix them orenable them; instead, guide them to the source of their own power. Offer themsupport and motivation as they find their own way and show you what they'recapable of. All you have to do is believe in them.

Never look down on someone unless you arehelping them up.

We like to think of life as a meritocracy,so it's easy to look down on someone who isn't as successful or accomplished orwell educated as you are. But you have no idea how far that person has alreadyclimbed or where they will end up. Time could easily reverse your positions, sobe sure you treat everyone with dignity.

Appreciate those who have supported you,forgive those who have hurt you, help those who need you.

Business is complicated, life is complex,and leadership is difficult. Treat all people--including yourself--with loveand compassion, and you can't go wrong.

Treat people the way you want to be treatedand life will instantly get better.
