More from Nelson Mandela & related wisdom
Believe in life! Always human beings will progress to greater, broader, and fuller life.
You can only do three things with your money. You can spend it. You can invest it. Or you can give it away. And if you invest it, you're really just getting more money to give away or buy something. How many things can you buy? So I don't really think there's a lot of choices.
You have to have a habitual vision of greatness – you have to believe in fact that you will refuse to settle for mediocrity. You won't confuse your financial security with your personal integrity, you won't confuse your success with your greatness or your prosperity with your magnanimity – believe in fact that living is connected to giving.
