Helped Anyone Lately?

Still wondering why you are here?  Brian Tracy says that your mission in life is to determine how you are going to make a difference in the lives of others.  Albert Einstein was asked, what is the purpose of life, and he responded ‘why it must be to serve others. What other purpose could it be?'

If a free society cannot help 
the many who are poor, 
it cannot save the few who are rich.
-  John Kennedy

Why should you care about helping others?  George Bernard Shaw said ‘We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it’.  Zig Ziglar says that 'you can get everything you want in life, if you will help enough others get what they want’. 

You will find that the mere resolve not to be useless, 
and the honest desire to help other people, 
will, in the quickest and delicatest ways, 
improve yourself.
- John Ruskin

This means that if you expect to gain anything from this world, you must be willing to give something to this world, such as helping others.  There is no free lunch!  Besides, you might like the results.  In addition to the good feelings you will get from contributing to this world, Anthony D’ Angelo says that you can ‘build your reputation by helping other people build theirs’.  How is your reputation?

- Joe Freeman

I don't know what your destiny will be,
but one thing I do know:
the only ones among you who will be really happy
are those who have sought and found how to serve.
- Albert Schweitzer
