The inspirational quote for today is:
If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else. —Booker T. Washington
Apart from the giveaway aspect of this post,I will like to recognise the main purpose which is to enlighten other steemians with your various views about inspirational quotes so they can extensively learn from it
Goodluck to everyone,till the next time we meet,I remain my humbleself @amec
Its like all you quotes keeps reminding me of what i have read and come to learn in life.
A chinese proverb i came across said
IF YOU WANT HAPPINESS
If you want happiness for an hour-
Take a nap
If you want happiness for a day-
Go fishing
If you want happiness for a month-
Get married
If you want happiness for a year-
Inherit a fortune
If you want happiness for a lifetime-
HELP OTHERS
In my opinion the essence of life (to make money, loads of it, to have kids, to have a beautiful wife or husband, to live a hundred years) is to achieve fulfilment, ultimate happiness. That is what every human should chase and in achieving this One has to put others into consideration before ones self.
SELFLESSNESS
Firstly, I will say the quote can be summarized as self esteem. True self esteem is not based upon just good to oneself, but based upon accomplishment. No matter how down you are helping others put smile on their faces, irrespective of how Small thé help you render is e.g buying food for a begger, donating blood at a local blood drive, which is actually saving a life. This is an accomplishment. This feeling enable you to do more, because by lifting others you have also lifted yourself.
I will say even these contests by @amec is a manifestation or testament to today's quote.
The giveaways makes him popular and in consequence lifts him up.
It's a natural law I will say, just like the law of gravity.
I'm @tomfreeman!
Nice one man!!
No one stays on the ground while lifting up others. When we lift up other we are also indirectly lifting up ourselves.
Helping others in a way helps you..it builds an attitude of love and care that radiates care and belonging...even when it comes to religion..it's said when we help others , we ourselves get divine help from from CREATOR...
Never relent to help in what ever situation.
#illuminoprinz
Always help people around you, that the only way you will be lifted high in the eyes of men and God because the wealth of a man depends on the number of persons that has benefited from it.
Helping others, helps you too.
Too often we lose ourselves in the need to get our own ‘things done. I can’t help but wonder which behavior makes people happier. seeking pleasure or doing good?
I understand the need and joy derived from achieving our set goals and getting things done, but trust me helping others just has some kinda good feelings, feeling of fulfillment, the smile on there faces, the appreciation in there eyes. Nothing better than that. It is just a pure, good feeling.
Your reward may not be on earth but surely will be in heaven. Lifting up others sure helps In lifting you up.
I will say today's quote is all about steemit for someone to make it here, you have to make someone else to make it by inviting their post, comments and so on. By doing this you are making yourself visible here.
I am @popson
Life is a jolly circle to those who give out what they want, I've tried giving out money(of the little I had), when I need some,and eventually I got money(ten times what I gave), I've tried giving out a smile when I am down, and I found people trying to make me laugh also.
It all boils down to lifting others up, if you want to be lifted.
Someone helped you up, do the same and help someone.
Just like one person introduced me to steemit, i in turn inroduced someone.
Get to the top together.
As you go up, take those around you with you. Cos on the long run, they will inturn help you
