Henry David Thoreau wrote:
“The woods would be silent if no bird sang but the best.”
If all of us waited around until we believed ourselves to be the best at what we did, the world would stand still.
Stop waiting to be the best—heck, stop waiting to get better—and start doing something instead.
“Better” will come with action.
“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”
–Henry David Thoreau
The stock market is reeling; businesses are closing; people are losing jobs. Any decision attached to money comes with a risk.
Being generous, kind, and selfless is not a risky thing to do. Sure, you might get taken advantage of or your acts might not be appreciated, but so what? You will always gain equity and compound interest when you are good and decent to others.
Today, and for the rest of your life, invest in goodness.
