A Spark by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe from The Vision, chapter 20
“Everyone influences someone. The power of influence does not diminish as we grow older. It just becomes complex, and we grow more selective.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from The Vision, chapter 20
The walk-through
Watch a baby learn and influence shows in its plainest form. They work out that talking beats crying and walking beats crawling — “They see a better way and reach out for it.” Someone around them made that better way visible.
The process never stops. Influence does not fade with age; it grows complex, and we grow choosier about who we let shape us — while every one of us is still influencing someone.
Hence the call for “mature people in the world that influence others and show them a better way to live life” — people who succeed, invent, think productively and love life. Not because influence is a duty. Because it is happening either way.
