There are some quotes and pearls of wisdom that I keep referring back to throughout life, so I’m sticking some of them here.
Quote
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Quote
Any man who must say, “I am the king,” is no true king.
I always think of this quote when I see peopled on LinkedIn who title themselves as “leaders” or “influencers.” If you are really a leader in your field, why do you need to tell people that? Surely there’s something more concrete that you can point to that demonstrates your leadership.
