Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said it rightly that everybody can be great because anybody can serve. We don't have to have a college degree to serve. We don't have to make our subject and verb agree to serve. We only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.

Let's make ourselves better person and know who we are, before we try and know someone else and expect them to know us. The only way we can see ourselves objectively is through the reflection of others.  What makes a  great partner? Let's learn from the following article by an unknown author.
