It's best to start the discipline of generosity when the amounts are small. It's easy to give ten cents out of a dollar; it's a little harder to give a hundred thousand out of a million.

It is activity that converts human dreams into human reality, and that conversion from idea into actuality gives us a personal value that can come from no other source.

You might not like the stone you are on right now, but it's sure to be one of the stones that lead to great opportunities in the future.
