Description

The old adage that “He profits most who serves best” is no mere altruism. Look around you. What businesses are going ahead? What men and women are making the big successes? Are they the ones who grab the passing dollar, careless of what they offer in return? Or are they those who are striving always to give a little greater value, a little more work than they are paid for? When scales are balanced evenly, a trifle of extra weight thrown into either side overbalances the other as effectively as a ton. In the same way, a little better value, a little extra effort, makes the man, women or the business stand out from the great mass of mediocrity like a tall figure among pigmies, and brings results out of all proportion to the additional effort involved. It pays – not merely altruistically, but in good, hard, cash – to give a little more value than seems necessary, to work a bit harder than you are paid for. It’s that extra ounce of value that counts. For the law of attraction is service. We receive in proportion as we give out. In fact, we usually receive in far greater proportion. “Cast thy bread upon the waters and it will return to you an hundred-fold.”
