All we need is validation

"I've talked to nearly 30,000 people on this show, and all 30,000 had one thing in common: They all wanted validation . If I could reach through this television and sit on your sofa or sit on a stool in your kitchen right now, I would tell you that every single person you will ever meet shares that common desire. They want to know: ' Do you see me? Do you hear me? Does what I say mean anything to you? ...Some days, I had to judge just a little bit. But it's helped me to stand and to try to do that with an open mind and to do it with an open heart. It has worked for this platform, and I guarantee you it will work for yours. Try it with your children, your husband, your wife, your boss, your friends. Validate them . ' I see you. I hear you. And what you say matters to me.
