Do More
Do more than belong: participate.
Do more than care: help.
Do more than believe: practice.
Do more than be fair: be kind.
Do more than forgive: forget.
Do more than dream: work.
William Arthur Ward
We create our environment. What goes around comes around. The quality of our life is not decided only by us. All of us decide the what is around us. As we live, we are satisfied on some areas and are not satisfied in some other areas of our life. We are responsible for this satisfaction or lack of it in some form or other. We have to believe that we live not only for ourselves but also for others.
We belong to a society. But do we participate in the making of a good society? We come across a lot of people who need our help, but do we care for them? We may believe in honesty, but do we practice the same? Some people may harm us or be unfair to us. We may even forgive them. But do we forget the harm done to us? All of us have dreams in our life. But the most important question is do we work to realize our dream?
These traits are very important to make a good society.
Every company which wants to make profit will take stock of their business at least twice a year. Similarly, we have to take stock of our contribution to our society at least every six months. We all want to receive something from the society and we are too happy to receive the same. However, the most important thing is: do we contribute anything to the society and if the answer is yes, how much?
