Find the Truely Great People
“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”
— Mark Twain

How true that is! But I had to learn that really great people are not where one might expect them to be. Before I met my wife and a couple of TRUE friends, I had known some who thought they were great … and some who held great positions … but none of them were really great people. None of them made me feel that I could become great. Those who are really great people in my life are pretty normal folks; but they believe in me, even when I don’t believe in myself. And they love me even when I am pretty unlovable. And they don’t hesitate to tell me how they feel even when I am not very good at telling them how I feel.
My hope is that every one of you have people around you who make you feel great! *S*
