"If I go to a seminar and someone like you or someone like him is talking, I'm never part of the group that rushes him directly afterward. I always wait in the back corner with my head down until everyone is gone, and then I go up and do my thing"

This quote by Arthur Godfrey talks to the value of being simple and patient. He is recommending that rather of hurrying to be the very first to speak with someone who is speaking at a seminar, it is better to wait until everyone else has actually gone and then approach them. This shows respect for the speaker and allows them to focus on the people who have been waiting patiently. It also shows that the speaker is confident in their own abilities and does not need to be the focal point. By waiting until everybody else has gone, the speaker is likewise showing that they are willing to make the effort to listen and gain from the speaker. This quote is a pointer that humility and perseverance are very important qualities to have in order to be effective.
