There should be less talk; a preaching point is not a meeting point. What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone’s house. That says enough.” MOTHER TERESA (1910–1997)

Mother Teresa was a nun, teacher and headmistress in Calcutta, India.

She was called to leave the convent to help the poorest of the poor and live among them.

In 1950 she and her helpers established the Missionaries of Charity, changing thousands of lives across the globe.

To implement the advice of Mother Teresa, try the following:

  • When you feel like your words are no longer impacting, resolve to be creative in shifting from a preaching point to a meeting point.
  • Keep in mind that you get treated in life the way you teach people to treat you.
