Quote

Listening to others does not mean you should sound like them; find your own voice by telling stories as authentically as possible.

If we don't tell our own stories, no one else will.

I just want people to hear me and my story.

Tell your own story, and you will be interesting.

All of us are made up of the stories that we listen to, the ones we disagree with and the ones that we agree with.

Listen to other people tell their story, but don't believe them. You know that it's just a story that is only true for them, but listen because the communication can be wonderful.

I learned very early on in life that not everyone wants to hear every fact in the world, even if you want to tell them everything you've ever read.

Everybody's got a different way of telling a story - and has different stories to tell.

Don't forget - no one else sees the world the way you do, so no one else can tell the stories that you have to tell.

To me, having the courage to tell your own story goes hand in hand with having the curiosity and humility to listen to others' stories.
