Walt Disney have said that there are three kinds of people in the world.
There are Well-Poisoners who discourage others, stomp on their creativity, and tell them what they can't do.
There are Lawn-Mowers, people who have good intentions but are self-absorbed, who mow their own lawns but never help others.
And there are Life-Enhancers. This last category contains people who reach out to enrich the lives of others, who lift them up and inspire them.
Each of us needs to do everything in our power to become a life-enhancer, to nurture people so that they are motivated to grow and reach their potential. It is a process that takes time.
