It’s hard to tell from this picture, but I live on a dead end street, and when we get a lot of snow, I usually have to shovel myself all the way out because the people closer to the end of the street are generally able to get out whether there is snow or not. They don’t have as much distance to negotiate. Plus, they know that somebody farther down the street is likely to shovel the snow. In this picture you can kind of see the lines in the street where some people shoveled and others didn’t. Rather than think about everyone else, I was trying to make the point that just by taking care of yourself and responsibility for yourself and your things, you automatically take care of the people around and improve the world.
I think there is a case to be made for thinking about those around you as well, as you suggest.
If we put ourselves in others shoes, will we be able to understand their pain. But are we ready to do that? If suppose our neighbors are doing the same mistake, we will be ready to point our fingers at them. But again, the same doesn't apply to us!
@boxcarblue, I really felt bad when I saw that pic and read your posting.
I’ve been listening to a man speak who says that it is your duty to be successful in life. If you neglect your own success, you rob others of all the good your success will bring to them and the world. If you give up before you succeed, you rob the world and others of all the things you could have brought to them. I was listening to this before going outside and shoveling snow on this day, and when I finished shoveling in front of my house, this view reminded me of that talk.
What Grant Cardone has to say sometimes sounds strange at first, but I agree with him on this. You don’t just owe it to yourself to be successful in all that you do, you owe it to everyone.
Dear @boxcarblue
I was just discussing with my wife few hours, that in order to accept and love others, we need first to learn to accept and love ourselfs.
I wish you would write something to open discussion :)
Anyway, upvoted.

It is always a norm in the society that we should be always observant of our surroundings, and mindful of others as we mind what we are doing.
Doing little things for the benefit of a greater majority should always be in the mind of every citizen, every member of the community.
The more we participate in the improvement of the community, the healthy our life will be.

@boxcarblue, yes Sir.
Firstly, we must strive hard to succeed. Then we must make sure that our success not only benefits us, but also others around us!
