"You are not here merely to make a living. You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world. You impoverish yourself if you forget this errand." Woodrow Wilson
I don't recall seeing these words before, yet I must've at some point. This is the kernel of my philosophy: that we are here to make the world a better place.
ReplyDeleteI've often found that life goes smoothly when living in accordance with this principle. It also goes straight to shit when striving against it.
That's been my experience, anyway.
