Provide something of value to people, over and over again, and you have a profession. Provide something of great value to a large number of people and you have a fortune. Life is not about taking. You can only take what's already there.
Life is about giving and creating value.
About making a difference. If you try to shortcut the process, it is you who will come up short in the end. Look for ways to make a difference in the world. To solve problems, to create joy and beauty, to give comfort, to provide meaning to the lives of others. Look for ways to give, look for things that need to be done.
