The Power of Benevolence

Benevolence, the desire to share can be a powerful reason for wanting to achieve. Sometimes we will do things for someone else that we would not do for ourselves. Some people do extremely well gathering up resources so they can then be benefactors. When Andrew Carnegie died, his desk was opened and in one of the desk drawers was found a slip of paper. On that slip of paper he had written: I'm going to spend the first half of my life accumulating money. And during the last half of his life, he gave it all away. How powerful.
