Ms. John Maxwell, who said leadership is influence nothing more nothing less.

Your ability to influence people within the sphere of your periphery.

It's not about making a nice impression.

It's about making an impact.

It's about doing your best.

I learned how to make an impact from the wisest person I ever met in my life.

A third grade dropouts.

The wisest person I ever met in my life who taught me to combine knowledge and wisdom to make an impact was my father.

My father taught himself how to read, taught himself how to write.

Decided in the midst of Jim Crowism as America was breeding the last gasp of the Civil War.

My father decided he was going to stand and be a man.

Not a black man, not a brown man, not a white man, but a man.

Saying to us boys, I won't have a problem if you aim high and miss.

But I'm going to have a real issue if you aim low and hit.

quoting Henry Ford saying if you think you can or if you think you can't.

You're right.

Lessons like these.

Son, don't judge people.

The tendency of a person is to walk away from somebody that's different from them.

You stay there and you get to know them.

Vision is the ability to see the invisible.
