He, peace be upon him, tells us: "Each time two people are together,"
that is, two people or more, but the Prophet peace be upon him spoke particularly of two people, because we forget that even just two people are already a group.
They are already a 'state,' an 'Islamic state.'
We forget that two people are enough to be a group, enough to be considered a nation. They are an Ummah, and that needs a khalifa, and to be looked after. An Ummah needs to have a caretaker.
It has a need for a sense of each taking care of the other, nourishing the other, thinking of the needs of the other.
There's a need for a protector, for the sense of each protecting the other, guarding the other, nurturing the other, and providing for the needs of the other.
Generally, when we are in a relationship of just two, we forget this. But when we are in a larger group, we don't forget this.
When I find myself in front of a group of a hundred or more people, I pay more attention to what I say.
But when I am with my spouse, when I am with my child,
when it's just me and my student, when it's just me and a friend, or when I am alone, I forget that this constitutes 'company' - I am in a state of companionship.
The Prophet peace be upon him says, "each time two people" to put emphasize that just two people are enough to form a group.
The Prophet peace be upon him says, "Each time that two people come together, the one who will win the prize of being the more beloved to God..." - and what a prize!
Who is looking for this? Who seeks this prize? Who is seeking to be loved by God, Most High?
In all honesty, who finds that this being 'loved' by God Most High moves something in your heart?
Don't raise your hands - but ask yourselves this question in an introspective way, seriously and sincerely.
Who here finds that this phrase moves something in you?
Do you want to be loved by God? Are you seeking to be loved by God?
Then, we understand why the Prophet peace be upon him was not sent amongst people like us. And we understand that we are far, we are far.
If Islam has been transmitted, or transferred, to us, have we succeeded in transforming? in being transformed by Islam?
Because a Prophetic Message has the role of transmitting or transferring the Divine Energy (or the Divine Message), but also of transforming beings.
Thus, for an audience consisting of the Companions of the Prophet peace be upon him, and you have an idea of the quality of their character after having heard the talk by Sidi Mahdi,
it is to this audience that the Prophet peace be upon him - he who understands best what it means to be loved by God, who in fact lives for nothing other than this - says:
Each time two people come together, the one who will win the prize,
the one who will be the more beloved to God Most High
Honestly, this entire conference can be summarized by this one Prophetic Teaching.

Want To Be A Healer Be A Creek - Duration: 11:12.
Want To Be A Healer?
Be A Creek
At Global Community Communications Alliance (GCCA) we approach healing with the same community
spirit as we approach everything else.
Our healing team works primarily through the Soulistic Medical Institute (a supporting
affiliate of GCCA), experiencing many opportunities to serve both community members and the public.
While we use standard medicine when necessary and unavoidable, we prefer the more wholistic
and soulistic methods of healing.
We have discovered that physical and psychospiritual healing has to do with a shift in the mind,
in the thought processes of the individual.
Thus we are actively seeking healing versus curing of illness�healing having to do with
the whole person and curing, in contrast, which focuses on making the physical symptoms
go away without consideration of psychospiritual, cultural, social, and environmental factors.
We observe that too many doctors and the other facets of healthcare really aren�t in the
ministry of healing; they are in the business of curing.
For example, a surgeon can successfully remove a physical tumor, but not deal with the various
factors that may have contributed to that tumor.
Nor do most surgeons follow up by in having the patient implement wholistic preventative
and health-promoting practices.
Neither do they deal with the emotions and mind of the individual, the thought processes
of the individual that lead to so many decisions that affects one�s health.
And, even if a doctor would want to be more wholistic, most insurance companies will pay
for surgery but not for the additional health-promoting and preventative follow-up treatment.
Most of us who are community members in GCCA feel that we are in an accelerated process
of healing and, whether accelerated or more gradual, healing can be very challenging,
intense, and psychologically (as well as physically) painful.
Though I see my entire life as a process of continued healing and unfolding into more
expanded wholeness, I went through an extremely challenging period of a few years of intense
healing, struggling with physical symptoms that were really scary and very uncomfortable
and at times almost unbearably painful.
In order for me to get through my physical condition and actually heal, I had to deal
with lots of personal psychospiritual issues, at an accelerated pace if I was going to physically
survive.
Though today I am no longer able to ride a bicycle many miles or hike up to fifteen miles
a day, I can hike and walk up to four miles and swim lots of laps.
Though my physical vehicle (body) won�t allow me to do as many activities as I enjoyed
in the past, at 61 I realize that I am healthier than I have ever been in my entire life.
In my �letting-go� of many of my attachments, I became free of a lot of mindal pressure
that contributed to tremendous stress on my physical body and which culminated in a serious
physical illness.
Being a product of the dominant culture�s fast and frantic pace, I was a person who
moved quickly through life, experiencing much and living with many changes throughout my
youth and adulthood.
For decades I was on a fast-track in acquiring an undergraduate- and graduate-college education,
exploring various religious practices, befriending many people of various walks of life, and
raising three children while I worked with dedication (teaching up to one hundred and
twenty-five students a day when I was in the public school system).
For a time I lived with the challenge of being a single parent, managing the family, home,
and profession, and, of course, at a maddeningly fast pace.
Though I was a deeply spiritual person, I was not deep enough, for I was in too much
of a hurry getting things done, pursuing many personal agendas, and so on.
When I finally slowed down enough to really listen to the call of the Spirit within me,
I realized that if I did not stop racing around being a superwoman, I would go crazy.
In that slowing down and quieting myself and listening to what I refer to as �the call
of God,� I was able to begin to allow certain doors to open that led to a series of events
that ended up where I am today�living in a wonderful intentional community, having
a lifestyle that is fulfilling and nourishing on all levels of being, and thriving in a
highly meaningful avocation.
It was not until I was living in an active intentional community, where my ideals could
be practiced more fully in a life of wholeness and connection (rather than in compartments),
that I really began the hard work of accelerated healing that, interestingly, seemed to me
at the same time to be restful and playful.
So it was a wonderful thing that happened to me when, about twelve years ago, I was
bed-ridden for more than three months.
During that time my heart beat very slowly, and I could not even get up to walk to the
bathroom.
It seemed as if my heart was saying, �I am not going to beat any faster than this,
and this is the way it is.
So, get with this new program, lady!� I�m sure that there are some medical theories
as to why my heart slowed down, but more important to me are the psychospiritual reasons.
I had to be slowed down so that I could be very present to hear that small, quiet voice
of God, which really isn�t very small at all.
It can be quite loud if you are listening.
I needed to be forced to sit in a circle of quiet for a lot longer than five minutes,
or twenty minutes, or a day.
In that circle of quiet where I lived for those months, I became enlightened and aware
of some unresolved issues, some incorrect perceptions, and some ego �stuff.� I also
realized that I had been living for most of my life with deep, smoldering anger and resentment.
And I thought I had gotten a handle on all of that when I was in my 30�s!
Believing that I am a person who has had a few past lives, it seemed that I had many
lifetime chapters, many layers of experiences where I, as a woman on this Earth, had been
broken and beaten down by oppressive and abusive people and circumstances, although, interestingly,
I have not experienced oppression in this current life.
In order for me to heal, my resentment and anger (no matter where it came from) had to
be addressed and dispelled, or transformed into something productive and helpful.
As I discovered, resentment is simply unexpressed anger and, if not appropriately and effectively
expressed, anger can sit deep inside you and manifest in some sort of physical dis-ease,
even coming through in a next life.
Because I lived in a community culture that encouraged deep reflection and inner work
on transmuting incorrect and harmful thought-forms and patterns, and because I had the physical
and emotional support of fellow community members, all those years ago I was able to
�retreat� for more than three months within the community setting�in my own bed�to
rest, reflect, process, release, and acquiesce.
I began to heal and transform, and I continue to unfold more fully into my wholeness, outgrowing
that which I no longer need in order to ever expand into a more loving, insightful, and
wise person.
In the wonderful diversity of persons living in Global Community Communications Alliance,
we are reminded daily that each one of us is undergoing an ongoing, personal, and unique
healing process.
We believe that in order for our planet to heal, a unity (not uniformity) needs to happen
on a global level.
But in order for us to begin to feel that union with others-that union of souls within
our uniqueness and our diversity-we must realize that what we all have in common is our need
to heal, and that healing is an ongoing process.
From the very beginning, our experiment in community has emphasized creating an environment
that in every way supports healing and health.
Beautiful homes and gardens, tasty organic food, clean water, fresh air, diverse and
satisfying work, a strong connection with the natural world, time and tools for creativity,
commitment to doing good for others, practicing clear communication, healthy diversion and
recreation, a dynamic spiritual life, and a willingness to do the work necessary for
healing to occur are important to us.
So far, the experiment begun in 1989 has borne many fruits of healing for community members,
even though some of those community members have eventually passed on.
And all along the beautiful healing journeys that we continue to experience, we are reminded
by one of our Elders: �Want to be a healer?
Then first heal yourself by becoming as a creek�always dynamic, flowing, moving, and
cleansing.�

Rappers Like Troy Ave and Lil Boosie and Lil Wayne That want to be 2pac. WHY? | JTNEWS - Duration: 6:25.
I'm records good man
salute JT I'm so so good AMD how are you
I'm great man so what we got today we're
talking rappers that want to be Tupac
they say they always talk about it and I
always wonder why because I've never
wanted to be another person right um
recently we got new pot we got Troy Ave
Maria he's Tupac I'm getting them he
says he's restoring a feeling but it's
all the negative feelings right a little
talk now Boosie said he wants to be to
remember he felt himself pupok recent
right but boo see out of those two and
we were there's plenty other people that
compare themselves to Tupac in a little
way and he has to thug life shatter
honors you know belly and all that but
it's like pussy is the closest thing to
talk to me because of his impact boom he
has an impact on the community for sure
like the the the hood relates to boo see
like they just do they come out to a
shows no matter what they support you
got a crazy family and he speaks to
those people in those neighborhoods like
he talks for them about the police
messing with them unfairly what it means
to only have some bread and peanut
butter and jelly in your house and then
five people eating that same sandwich
you know like like shit that people can
relate to poverty you know and the
struggles of coming up through poverty
you know there so now boo see I mean
then you got Troy abs he's just relating
oh I got shot this happens that you know
it's like you know come on not not
really that much relation but why do
people want to be Tupac you tell me
wreck why why do I want to be Tupac so
bad I mean to cut just had a different
effect on I'm going to say to fans or
just a people lighter and everybody
wants to catch
that you know like you know me the
artist I would love to capture capture
that in my own way not in a 2-pound way
in an Trek way you understand what I'm
saying
Tupac connection with defend that was
something like magnetic something
special going on in yeah and I think it
was from the passion and the dedication
to his craft and really being on the
front line for the coals yeah you
understand what I'm saying
police brutality like you said on
poverty yeah
uplifting women women he fought for the
woman you know and on even on that song
wonder why they call you best she was
basically telling girl why this is why
we call you bitch don't be like this
yeah yeah definitely
he has substance like I said he had a
title this is why we called you bitch
and then he broke that down
yeah you understand what I'm saying and
that's why I took up has a connection
with the people and every artist was
that yeah I mean he he figured it out
not you right yeah he just and I think
that was just him he was just given a
world all to him because he was you know
a rebel yeah
revolutionary yeah I know artists actor
he was were the people and he was
definitely every piece I mean this is a
guy who took homeless people inside of
his mansion do you know like gave people
money and everything and at one point I
think Tupac was going to change around
one point because so many people were
taking from him and not giving back
mmm-hmm to him you know when he needed
the love and everything you know and I
think that was starting to face him in
the end and it phases me and it phases
you you know you can give you want to
see people win so bad
and when they win they don't want to see
you in the same amount and every time
you can't do you learn at one point and
he was young he was only what 25 you
know so like I'm probably just realizing
that like people don't want the same
good for you so you got to start doing
good for people and not expect anything
in return
you know and I think he was going to go
to more being a motivational speaker and
opening up more boys and girls I'll see
ya soon yes he was going to inspire you
can't like t I just said in some movie
and I think this is the most
hypocritical he's another one that tries
to go to puck right I he said he did
this movie us or out and it's about
police brutality everything then he says
you know people they say their way of
getting out like I'm gonna get out of
the hood when I make it I leave the hood
I don't stay in the hood and fix it and
he said that's the biggest problem but
he's being a hypocrite saying that
because he the first chance he got he
left and he's living in 40 million
dollar mansion a million dollar condo
he's not living in the hood anymore so
if you're going to say something like
that be about it and be in the hood but
I will say this at once I'm I know he
had a construction company he was
building up these affordable homes in
the community I don't know if he still
does that
but I know one time in a world I think
that was an idea you know who's really
doing that Glenn thug shut up his Slim
Thug he's really building cars you're
going you know what this will because if
she'll tell anybody who was a base who
was a how can I say influenced by Tupac
and he want to put the influence out
there but using the to pot yeah great in
the sense by Tiffany you know cuz he's
easy fire you gotta do together you're
right he got that inspired inspiration
right yes I like Loretta Lynn spider
shell so Troy yeah boom see if that's
what he feel inspiring them and they
wanna you know I guess be labeled as

Create Your Life Around What Really Matters to You - Duration: 1:38.
(piano music)
- Clarity of priorities.
We lived in a big ol' 3000-square-foot home.
Big yard;
in-ground pool; fully finished basement.
Awesome, awesome house.
Two and a half years ago,
I told my husband, I said, "This house is killing me.
"It's too big for us."
"The kids are no longer home."
"I'm lonely."
"We're only using a few rooms"
"Why are we keeping up with the Joneses
in this huge house
when we don't need it?"
We got clear about what we really wanted.
We wanted to move to the country.
We wanted a smaller bungalow.
I hated cleaning that house.
It took us three hours
every Saturday morning.
Two people,
three hours to clean that monster.
Beautiful home,
but it was, we outgrew it.
It was no longer a priority for us
to have the house where the kids would come over.
We had lived that chapter of our lives.
We needed to reassess our priorities.
We had to get really honest with ourselves
in saying, "Why are we keeping this house?
"Is it just for show?
"To show that we have money?
"Why are we doing this?
"What do we want?"
We got really, really clear about what we wanted.
Now we live 15 minutes,
an extra drive, country road,
cute little bungalow on 44 acres of treed land.
We have our own trails in the back.
We can go skiing; we can go hiking; it's awesome.
Clarity of priorities is getting really clear
about what matters to you.
I want you to say, "What is really important here?"

TOP 5 WEDNESDAY | Authors I Want to Read More From - Duration: 5:41.
Hello, friends! My name is Sarah and today I am joining in with Top 5 Wednesday to
share the top five authors that I would like to read more from. Obviously this
topic could be done a ton of different ways and so to narrow it down a little
bit as I thought through potential authors to share with you guys, I decided to
choose from authors that I have only read one book from and it turns out all
of them are actually authors that I read for the first time in 2016. They also all
happen to be female authors and, just throwing it out there that these are
listed in no particular order. The first author i would love to read more from is
Erin Morgenstern, the author of The Night Circus. I read this pretty early on in
2016 and, to my knowledge, Erin Morgenstern haven't written really
anything else, but this novel was beautiful. The writing was insane, the
atmosphere, the characters, the story - it was all just to so, so wonderful. If I could
get more from this actual world with these actual characters I would be so, so,
so, so happy, but I would also just be absolutely thrilled to read some other
fantasy or really any other story that Erin Morgenstern would put her beautiful,
wonderful writing and spin on. The second author I would love to read more from
is Hannah Kent, the author of Burial Rites. I heard really, really incredible
things about Burial Rites, and I was very very excited to finally get a chance to
pick it up last year and absolutely fell in love with the story and the writing.
It was all just so beautifully done. The themes and the philosophical questions
that are posed in that book are absolutely beautiful and I am very, very
excited about the fact that Hannah's next novel, which I'm totally blanking on
the name of it right now, but it comes out...I think it might have already come
out in Australia or some other part of the world already this year. It comes out
in the United States, I want to say, in September/October and I'm very, very, very
much looking forward to that because Burial Rites was an absolutely lovely,
lovely novel. That one takes place in Iceland and just the atmosphere that she
captured of that particular location, even though I've never actually been to
Iceland, like, I feel kind of like I have just in the way that she writes, but
her next novel takes place in Ireland, which I have been to Ireland, and oh my
gosh...I'm so excited about the atmosphere and the setting of that particular book. It's going to be
fantastic. The third author I would love to read more from is Yaa Gyasi, the
author of the Homegoing. This is Yaa Gyasi's debut novel, therefore she does
not have any other fiction that has been published yet, but I cannot wait to
read more from her. It still boggles my mind that this is a debut. It still
boggles my mind that she's like 26-years-old or 27-years-old or whatever she is,
because this is just absolutely wonderful. I'm really, really, really
excited to see the other stories and characters and themes and hard issues
that she decides to tackle in her future works because this is just, in so many
ways, a fantastic novel. It's very, very important, I think, and I really think
that everyone should read it. I think it's just absolutely lovely and the
questions and the different themes that it causes you to consider are just really
really fantastic. It is also own voices, which is amazing, and I just...yeah...I loved it.
I loved her writing style and the character development, in particular. Even
though this is sort of like a collection of short stories more or less, the way
that she developed all of the characters in such a short amount of time just...fell
head over heels. Like, you guys probably know if you've been watching
the channel for a while that my love languages are great characters, exquisite
writing, and fantastic themes. Yaa Gyasi has all of those and I'm really, really
excited to see what she does with her talent in future books. The fourth author I
would love to read more from is Emily St. John Mandel, the author of Station Eleven.
My copy of Station Eleven is being borrowed by a friend of mine right now, which is why I
do not have it, but you guys may know that that was one of my favorite books
of 2016. It was my first read of the year this is actually two years in row now that
I've kicked off the year with a five star new read, and it was just absolutely
amazing. Going back to what I just mentioned about Yaa Gyasi and my
love languages being good characters and beautiful writing and themes, like,
Station Eleven is another fantastic example of that. It is just an exquisitely written
story. Even though it's written in a very nonlinear fashion, which I am normally
not a huge fan of, the way that Emily St. John Mandel told that story was just
absolutely amazing, and I am not sure, I haven't done too much looking to see if
she's written other stuff...I think she has, and I'm definitely hoping to jump
into some of that in 2017, because I mean that...that story...it was just it was amazing. It was absolutely
amazing. I loved it so much. And the fifth and final author that I would love to
read more from is Kristin Hannah, the author of The Nightingale. This is my favorite read of
2016 and I absolutely fell head over heels for the story. I am a huge
historical fiction junkie, as you guys know. I really, really love the WWII
time setting in particular, and that is when this book takes place. And, again
beautiful characters, beautiful writing, incredible themes and questions
that the story asks you to consider, and Kristin Hannah has, I know, written a lot
of other stuff, so I've already gotten a couple recommendations from a friend who
read this and loved it so much that she immediately went out and picked up
another one of Kristin's books, so I'm really excited to dive into some of our
other stuff as the year progresses, because if all of her books are like
this one, then she's probably going to very quickly skyrocket to one of my
all-time favorite authors. Well, there you have it, friends. Those are my top 5
authors that I would love to read more from. If you've read works by any of these
other authors that are different from the one I have read, I would love to
hear your thoughts and recommendations, and I would also love to hear one of
your authors that you definitely want to read more from. If you want to
follow me elsewhere online, you can find me on Twitter, Instagram, and Goodreads, all @sarahannehayes.

87 #Aaltonen - What they need vs. What you want - Duration: 3:39.
Hey, subscribe to our channel from down below. You'll get these videos straight to your email, if you prefer. A new episode every weekday at noon.
We're going to create 120 episodes of these videos where we're going to talk about common issues in marketing and content marketing.
Let's talk about we want versus what you need. We is a company and their marketing and sales team, board and directors.
We want. On the other side is your clients. What they need? It's quite interesting when we're talking about company's marketing efforts,
"We want"-attitude plays a huge role in everything. We want to sell, we want to meet clients, we want our client's time, we want them to buy and stay as our clients. We want. I want very selfishly, which is fine.
That's how capitalism works. We want something, but capitalism also works by not working if the other side doesn't need you.
Marketing communication should not focus on you but to them. I find it interesting, that customer's customer is very rarely seen and spoken of.
It's because somehow our brains are always fixed to "we want"-attitude. If we could serve the need and answer the questions and focused on the customer's world, we would be much more successful.
You'd be much more successful in your own business. For example if you're looking for a job, you need a job, but the potential employer wants something.
They want to see some action to be implemented. If you tell what kind of a person you are and about your skills, you're not telling about what the employer would get from you.
If you're selling a service, and you're thinking of how you can stand out from your competitors, start thinking about what your customers need.
Not what you can sell. If you're a communications agency, it's nice to talk about crisis communication and influencer communication, but you should think about what those people need and want.
Target to that. This all works in every branch of industry, including yours, where you're an individual and special, but your customers have their own needs and wants
Forget about what you're doing, what you want and start serving the person on the other side. I guarantee the results will be completely different than what they are now.

Jim Rohn: ACHIEVING ANYTHING YOU WANT (entrepreneur advice) - Duration: 10:06.
let's talk now about setting goals of
all the things that really helped
transform my life when I was 25 years
old met my mentor that original mentor
mr. Rochelle goal-setting really did
wonders for me the subject came up when
mr. Scholl said to me mr. Owen
let me see your current list of goals
and he said let's go over them he said
I've got some experience and let's talk
about it maybe I can give you some help
and I said to him I don't have a list he
said well if you don't have a list of
your goals he said I can probably guess
your bank accounts within your bank
account within a few hundred dollars
which he did and that got my attention
so here was my response you mean to tell
me if I had a list of my goals it would
make a difference in my bank account he
said a drastic difference so that got my
attention I thought well I've got to
learn how to set goals and when I
learned it changed my life forever now
I've been teaching it now all these
years trying to help people get a better
vision of the future
okay so make this note the future is
where we're going you know the past is
where ever been presence is where we are
and the future is where we're going and
if we can capture this moment in time
from our past to now and then from now
to a future more well designed with
better objectives and better purpose for
ourselves our family our business our
investments everything else then this
this moment in time will have become
extremely valuable so let me give you
first what really affects us all
number one were affected by the
environment in which we live were
affected by the physical environment I
was challenged with back in the thirty
days ,why not make the environment better
everywhere you go I learned mama taught
you know turn off the lights when you
check out of your hotel and you leave
the room before you leave turn out the
lights and I thought why do that and
here's what she said to make a
contribution that's so easy Wow
and if you could make a contribution
that is so easy that didn't cost you any
money and didn't cost you any time you
know didn't cost you a piece of your
life why not make the contribution
that's easy because if everybody did it
think of how much we would conserve
someone says well yes the hotel benefits
if you turn out all the lights and
here's the answer that sophisticated
people always have who cares
who
benefits if it benefits the hotel and if
everybody did it probably the cost of
the hotel room would come down so every
benefit you can give every benefit you
can share because here's what happens if
you learn to give you will what receive
maybe not in the manner in which you
gave maybe not in light time someone
will save energy for you because you
saved energy for them but in some
mysterious ways it always comes back to
us if you give you will receive in fact
here's what it says that for the
uneducated is a little bit strange it
says it's better to give than it is to
receive now see if you didn't understand
you would say that doesn't quite make
sense surely it would be better to
receive and to give the answer's no it
is much better to give than to receive
and here's why it's what we call being
in having intelligent self-interest
nothing wrong with self-interest as long
as you do it the intelligent way here's
the key giving it's better to give than
it is to receive because giving starts
the receiving process so to act
intelligently
in your own self-interest which is good
it's much better to give than it is to
receive because if all of you do all you
do is receive that may be very limited
but if you give and giving starts the
receiving process coming your way from
unknown resources from unknown places
back it comes around to you because you
became a giver that's one of the unique
mysteries of life we give to receive and
it's better to give than it is to
receive so that's what mama said turn
out the lights make a contribution why
not make the easy ones here's what else
we talked about it at our lunch break
today to those who were there it raises
your self-esteem
plus your self-respect that you do
things that the average person doesn't
do maybe if they were taught they would
maybe if somebody mentioned it they
would but it's easy for most everybody
to just go on their way and if they're
not interrupted by a good idea that says
hey it's so easy to make a contribution
this one would be easy
turn out the lights when you leave the
hotel room and make a contribution
that's interesting
next is the phrase in terms of
environment always leave something
better than you found it I talked to a
man one time we rented out a long list
of of apartments and he said Mr on you
wouldn't believe it but when somebody
rents an apartment they usually leave it
worse than when they rented it I said
you've got to be kidding he said no a
high percentage of people leave it
trashed if they stay six months or stay
one year they leave it trashed not just
not better but trashed
I said that's impossible why would
anyone do that mama said to me no leave
it but better than you found it see
that's just a commitment to your own
self-esteem and why not do it if it
makes a contribution to your self-esteem
it's called intelligent self-interest
intelligent self-interest self-interest
says I wish to be ruler over many and
intelligent self-interest says I
understand how to do that be faithful in
the amounts or smile if you'll take care
of the few we will someday give you a
position of very high importance over
many but if you don't be disciplined
when the amounts are small why would we
trust you in the amounts or lives Brian
makes you better
why would you why would life give you a
fortune to manage if you couldn't manage
the gifts of a few interesting
philosophy to consider okay your own
self-interest leave the contribution I'm
even aware of it when I leave a
restaurant and I get me a toothpick
right and you take off the little
cellophane off the toothpick it's easy
to throw it by the cash register right
you're somewhere where looks like other
people have done the same mama said put
it in your pocket somebody sits along a
little piece of cellophane what
difference does it make it doesn't make
that much difference
only in your self-respect take your
trash home and deposit it how much does
it cost to clean up the trash on the
highways in America mega mega mega
millions wouldn't people take home their
own trash and deposit it there rather
than scatter it on the highways across
America and the answer is most people do
not it's so easy to throw it out the
window
but now add this it's so easy to keep it
in your car and have a few more points
in your favor on self-esteem feeling
good about yourself doing things that
most people don't do if everybody never
did it or a different country we would
have but it doesn't really matter you
say well if everybody's going to do it
watch your than I do it and the answer
is for your own dignity and for your own
self-esteem you do things that most
other people allow themselves to do that
you don't do
you
you
