Mastering the Art of Success(^)
\WRIGHT
Why do you think charitable giving is important to being successful
in business?
JOHNSON^
Doing for others helps us stop worrying about our own business
problems. We must give back, whether it’s with our finances, our time,
and/or our expertise. If you look at successful people in this country,
you know they give back to those in need. The examples are out there:
Dr. Martin L uther King, Jr., Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Oprah Winfrey,
and the millions of others whose names we know and whose names go
un known. They are the heroes/heroines that provide brilliant examples of
what successful business people do. It is important to give back to our
co mmunities. This is a way of showing gratitude for all the gifts th at
have been given to us. Small acts can make a gigantic difference to
charitable organizations, to a child, to someone in n eed, to finding a
cure for a disease. Giving in some way is something we can all do! I have
learned that from charitable giving grows gratitude, humility, integrity,
sincerity, wisdom, and generosity. These are all traits that are benefits
to any business owner.
