Pretty Cool Column
I'm not much of a column reader. I don't usually like the way that the writer throws in all kinds of jabs and opinions. Some are worse than others and even some columns are worse than others from the same writer, but I really liked todays columnby Doug Robinson in the Deseret News.
I'm always impressed by the people who no matter what their situation, they are thinking of others first. Whether it's $5.00 or $5,000,000 to me it's the same if it's given in a spirit of truly trying to help people and make life better for them.
I don't mean opening your wallet to every homeless person with a sign that you pass, but really trying to find ways that you can help make peoples lives better. Not only for those to whom you serve by giving, but by also helping to inspire others to step up and give also.
The movie Pay It Foward really kind of hit the nail on the head. Do something proactive for someone, then hopefully they are inspired to do something proactively for someone else, and so on.
