For those who love text:

Never in history have so many people had so much information, so many tools at their disposal, so many ways of making good ideas come to life. Yet at the same time, so many people, of all walks of life, could use so much help, in both little ways and big.

In the midst of this, new studies are reinforcing the simple wisdom that beyond a certain very basic level of material wealth, the only thing that increases individual happiness over time is helping other people.

In other words, helping helps everybody, helper and helped alike.

The question is: what would help? And help most?

It’s so fascinating how the world is changing. Really, greed was rampant not too long ago but I feel that those with financial health are more than willing to share now. It could be because the world needs it or it might be because the general public’s socially conscious consumerism. Our purchasing choices, en masse, forces companies to change. And it’s company initiatives like Google’s project 10 to the 100th that reaffirm this positive belief in me.
