I've learned that there is no currency like trust and no catalyst like hope. There is nothing worse for building relationships than pandering, on one hand, and preaching, on the other. And the most important quality we must all strengthen in ourselves is that of a deep human empathy, for that will provide the most hope of all--and the foundation for our collective survival.

About This Quote

To be able to build relationships you must be able to trust others. You must be able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and understand their situation before you can effectively communicate with them. You must also believe in the person you are talking with so you can continue to hope for the best. When two people wish each other well, hope is created.

Hope is the fuel that drives human action. People who are given hope find they can do great things that will benefit all of us.
