Adding Value To A Person's Life

Adding value to someone else’s life is one of the most important things you can do with your life, and it has nothing to do with money.
Adding value is the only way to get another person’s buy-in, and it’s one of the few ways to get other people to believe in you as an individual.
When you’re adding value to someone’s life, you are contributing to that person in a meaningful way. This is important in all facets of life—in leadership positions, in friendships, while meeting and connecting with new people, at your job, and with your family.
If you want people to respect you, then you must add value to their lives. Otherwise you are dead weight.
