Jesus and His Example: Jesus not only taught us to love, but He also lived what He taught. Throughout His ministry, Jesus “went about doing good” and “entreated all to follow His example.” He taught, “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.”
Christlike Attribute: True Christlike service is selfless and focuses on others.
True Service: All of us can incorporate some service into our daily living. We live in a contentious world. We give service when we don’t criticize, when we refuse to gossip, when we don’t judge, when we smile, when we say thank you, and when we are patient and kind.

<Thoughts>
Even though her talk was full or quoting other people's talk, it was inspiring. While I was reading, it reminded me of a few things:
- Christlike person looks outwards, a natural man looks inward
- Service brings humility in our hearts
- Service reminds us of Christ who serves everyone
- When we have some evil thoughts, we should serve others
