You have not lived a perfect day, even though you have earned your money, unless you have done something for someone who will never be able to repay you. — Ruth Smeltzer

~~~~ Good News of the Day: What happens when someone who has spent much of his life on volunteerism and generosity keynotes an event for venture capitalists and entrepreneurs? “My instructions for the talk were: don’t be humble, talk about scale. I actually laughed out on the phone, when I heard that, only to realize that it wasn’t a joke. The other keynote was a billionaire, who had invented 33 medical devices and held 150 patents. And I was warned that this will be an audience of hyper-alpha-males. 🙂 I like entrepreneurs because they are always looking to broaden the pie. The best of them don’t hold a scarcity mindset but rather focus on creative expressions for creating new value in the world. […] Unfortunately, what was also run of the mill was a singular focus on money. Greed. People cheered when a speaker spoke about unethical behavior to get ahead, as if that was truly heroic.”

~~~~ Be The Change: Today, do something for someone for which you can’t be repaid.
