No man becomes rich unless he enriches others. ~ Andrew Carnegie
The Question I Must Ask Myself: Do I experience a return when I help others?
WHAT GOES AROUND
The Question I Must Ask Myself: Do I experience a return when I help others?
WHAT GOES AROUND
Where do you stand on the subject of giving to others? There are 3 kinds of people when it comes to this subject:
1. Takers Receive & Never Give
i. Worry only about what they can get, & they're never satisfied
2. Traders Receive & Then Give
i. Focus on keeping score.
ii. View relationships as an exchange.
iii. They give because they think they owe something to someone who has helped them, & they desire to make things "even".
3. Investors Give & Then Receive
i. Focus on others.
ii. They give first & receive if something is offered in return.
iii. Believe success comes from being helpful, caring, & constructive.
iv. Desire to make everything & everyone they touch better & understand the best way to accomplish that is to give of themselves
What INVESTORS Have In Common
§ Understand that People are of Great Value
§ Embrace the Boomerang Principle
§ Practice the Principle of Sowing & Reaping
□ When you give to another person you will receive something in return that affects your valuables, your values, or your virtues
¨ VALUABLES: things that provide financial worth
¨ VALUES: things that bring fulfillment
¨ VIRTUES: things that develop character
§ Believe that helping others is the divine work of people
□ Don't be a cynic…[and] bewail & bemoan. Omit the negative propositions…Don't waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good…Set down nothing that will not help somebody. It is one of the beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself. To help the young soul, to add energy, inspire hope, & blow the coals into a useful flame; to redeem defeat by new thought & firm action: This, though not easy, is the work of divine man. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
TAKE INVESTING IN OTHERS TO A NEW LEVEL
You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope & achievement. You are here to enrich the world, & you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand ~ President Woodrow Wilson

Comes back into our own
