Today, I posted a new featured article on my website, about my first mentor, who I met when I was ten years old. I didn’t realize the impact that Mrs. Miller had on me until I started writing the article, more than a decade after her death. I’m convinced that she can hear my words, wherever she is, and that she’s chuckling to herself.

We are given gifts every day by people all around us. Take the time to think about what you have learned from others. And then thank them. My guess is that none of us really knows the full impact that we have on others. And if we could truly take it all in, we would be awestruck.
