"Your impact on the lives of others--your family, the people at your church, your workmates--is cultivated with each decision you make, no matter how small."

Asa Don Brown

Asa Don Brown

"In my opinion, the author-level metric can distort a real author's citation impact.

"The collective consciousness of the people we associate with on a daily basis has an influence on our consciousness. Which holds us back from our true potential. Even if we believe that we are fully aware of our thoughts, feelings and emotions. The bigger picture will only present itself as we continue to grow."

Asa Don Brown

"If the people you talk to on a daily basis are not the ones living your life dealing with your daily obstacles, are not uplifting for your well being then why should you buy into their opinion?"
