Influence..........................

      If you want to make the world a better place, work on being trustworthy, and honor those who are trustworthy.  Be a good friend and surround yourself with worthy friends.  Don't gossip.  Resist the joke that might hurt someone's feelings even when it's clever.  And try not to laugh when your friend tells you that clever joke at someone's expense.  Being good is not just good for you and those around you, but because it helps others be good as well.  Set a good example, and by your loveliness you will not only be loved, but you may influence the world.
