People want to help me. They want the best for me. I always say thank you to people when they try that. I never get mad.

This flattery has been rather slow in coming. I think all of sudden late in life now I'm getting some credit for what I've done. Which is gratifying, but it's kind of a little late.

There are so many ways to talk with the people who appreciate my help.

Being polite and grateful will make people more inclined to help you. And if people are willing to help you, you may accidentally get something you want.

I always was flattered when people would say I would do whatever it took for the team. I always thought of myself as that kind of guy.

I'm flattered anytime someone has taken enough time to listen to me and make a connection to someone else, honestly.

I guess other people's compliments motivate you.

If I put forth a legitimate effort, then I feel like, if that doesn't work out, that's all I can do.

I'm content with the fact that I made a decent effort. That's what I've always worried about: that I wouldn't try hard enough.

You've got to make an effort on your own. Some people don't even try.
