He killed his own daughter. You see, 100 percent influence is 100 percent isolation. You don’t want it. In some cases ‘‘no’’ is the best thing that could happen to you. I don’t know about you, but there have been times when I was truly grateful no one listened to me. I was so sure I was right, too. But if they had listened to me it would’ve been a disaster.
