Helping Others

The Power of Purpose by Peter S. Temes opens with a bang:

"Can there really be a secret weapon, a special hook, an inside secret that the most joyful and successful people know and the rest of us don't? The answer is yes, and here it is: the more you focus on helping others, the more you will succeed in reaching your own goals. Helping others is the most direct and effective way to reach your goals in your personal relationships, at work, and in your community. There is no better or rewarding purpose you can find each day, and no more practical tool for getting where you want to go."
