Mary Kay Ash On Making People Feel Important

“Every person is special! I sincerely believe this. Each of us wants to feel good about him or herself, but to me it is just as important to make others feel the same way. Whenever I meet someone, I try to imagine him wearing an invisible sign that says: Make Me Feel Important! I respond to this sign immediately, and it works wonders.”
