Summary

This quote suggests that the influence we have on others can be immense, as we may be the only example or source of knowledge that someone comes across in their life. It reminds us of the responsibility we hold to present ourselves as positive role models and sources of inspiration, as our actions and words can have a lasting impact on those around us. Therefore, we should strive to be the best version of ourselves, as we never know the extent to which we can shape someone else's perception and understanding of the world.

Five daily newspapers arrive in my California driveway. The New York times and the Wall Street Journal are supplemented by three local papers. As for magazines, I read, or at least skim, Business Week, Forbes, The Economist, INC; Industry Week, Fortune. Other subscriptions include Sales and Marketing Management, Modern Health Care, Progressive Grocer, High Tech Business, and Slaon Management Review from MIT. I religiously read Business Tokyo, Asia Week, and Far Eastern Economic Review. I glance at Newsweek and Time ... but I devour the New Republic, Policy Review, Foreign Affairs, The Washington Monthly, and Public Interest. How about books? A dozen or more each month.
