Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things even if we do not get anything in return. It is the joy of our life to do them. When we do good things from this inner desire, there is kindness in everything we think, say, want and do. - Emanuel Swedenborg |
Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. - Ralph Waldo Emerson |
The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving. - Albert Einstein |
Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile. - Mother Teresa |
Some readers have asked why I dictate, write, edit, and work on these articles, even though I receive no payment for them. Don't I have better things to do in life?
The answer is that this project is indeed the most important thing that I can do. I want to follow my own advice to share my knowledge with the world while I can.
Over the course of my life I’ve listened to many people, read a great deal, learned many things, and accumulated some unique knowledge.
I could keep this knowledge to myself and it will stay with me after 120. However, others can gain from it. In addition, the Internet provides me with an easily-accessible tool for sharing the things that I have learned.
True, I am not rich. I would be happy to consider options for publishing these articles in a lucrative manner.
However, at this stage, I want to make the information available quickly and easily.
In that way, others may be able to follow in my footsteps.
