"Select just two or three individuals in your life who have been most influential, and ask yourself what they did specifically that was most helpful to you at the critical, important times of your life. On reflecting for a few moments, you are apt to conclude that such people really cared for you, that they took time out for you, that they taught you something you needed to know. Reflect now upon your performance- as I do on mine-as to whether or not we embody in our lives those same basic helpful attributes."

Spencer W. Kimball, Ensign, Jul 1978, 3
