What I found really interesting is when he applied this principle to products & advertising. We are creatures of meaning. We seek to find meaning in all that we do. If we seek to provide this meaning, we will gain people’s hearts, minds, and souls.

People can read authentic desire to serve, or desire to serve yourself.
