John C. Maxwell

John C. Maxwell

I thought if I was open and honest, it would help the reader to get open and honest, and they also would realize sometimes when you write a book, people think you're an expert and that's not always true.
John C. Maxwell
Want to impress others? Talk about your successes. Want to impact others? Talk about your failures.
