More than ten years ago, my dad was in a position to help someone. The person offered to give incentive for my dad to help him. Dad refused, he said he was going to do everything legal in his power to help the man without the incentive.
Dad was able to help him. Then, a longer than life friendship was born.
Since then, he has been able to establish himself, he married and our families have been close till today.
Just two days ago, we needed serious assistance in carrying out a project. We called this out friend. Immediately, without persuasion he agreed to help. Now we’re talking millions here. He agreed regardless. Mum was thanking him and trying to explain how we were in his debt and all but he just said, “hey, you’re my sister. we’re family. It’s nothing.”
Assuming my dad wasn’t interested in helping and used the opportunity to extort money from the man, we wouldn’t be friends today and he wouldn’t be helping us now.
I’m not saying that you should do good to others because of what you might get in return. No.
I’m saying that you should form the habit of doing good to others and treating them just as you’ll love yourself to be treated.
You never know who you’ll be doing good too. You never know what might come as a result.
The good you do for someone today, might just be your meal ticket Tomorrow.
Thank you and have a great day !
