In as much as i believe in doing good to others, helping others stand and lighting each others fire and of all that because there is a reward and sometimes people you help turn to do same for you in time of need.
I also think it is important as person, never let your light burn out. The world is changing, i have heard of people who helped others so much when they had but right now they are living in so much lack and the people they helped are no where to be found.
This tells something, no matter how much you are helping people, never forget to lay a proper foundation for sustainable wealth.
Helping people does not guarantee sustainable wealth. You cannot take the assistance you have given to people to the bank.
Make conscious effort to sustain your fire.
Don't let it burn out
