Personally, I think humility is a prerequisite to being a truly empathic person.

Being a father helps me be more responsible... you see more things than you've ever seen.

I work hard to improve myself as a person - as a father, as a husband, as a manager. I'm always on that mission.

The discoveries of how we can grow and the insights we need to have really come from the inside out. To have genuine empathy, not as a make-nice tool but as an understanding, is essential to the next step.

Empathy is a tool for building people into groups, for allowing us to function as more than self-obsessed individuals.

The more consistent a father can be or a mentor can be in the person's life and teach them principles of real solid manhood, character, integrity and leadership, the more consistent you can be in the person's life and teach them those things at a younger age, and then the better off they'll be.

Our father taught us such a work ethic that if there's something worth doing, it's worth doing well.

A prerequisite to empathy is simply paying attention to the person in pain.

Empathy probably started out as a mechanism to improve maternal care. Mammalian mothers who were attentive to their young's needs were more likely to rear successful offspring.
