The Billionaire’s Maxim #9
Deep Love Yields Unconquerable Joy.
Any chance you get, show people love. A quote often attributed to William
Penn has guided most of my life and served me wonderfully. It goes, “I
expect to pass through life but once. If, therefore, there can be any kindness I
can show, or any good thing that I can do to any fellow-being, let me do it
now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.”
Tell people how proud you are of them and how much you love them
while you—and they—are still alive. I once met a man who told me he felt
abounding happiness at the very sight of a live person. “Why?” I asked him.
“Because I’ve seen so many dead people in my life that meeting someone
alive is a special gift,” he said.
Not one of us knows when we’ll face our end. So, why hold back that
which is most valuable: your human capacity to love deeply?
