This holiday Tip contains a quote from George Bernard Shaw that the true joy in life lies in helping others.
In this holiday season and for the next year, I hope that your life is filled with love, laughter and light.
The True Joy in Life
“This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one.
Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances. Complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community. And as I live it is my privilege – my *privilege* to do for it whatever I can.
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die. For the harder I work, the more I love.
I rejoice in life for its own sake.
Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I’ve got a hold of for the moment.
And I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.”
George Bernard Shaw
“If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.”
Winston Churchill
Have a wonderful holiday and new year. We will resume our Tips on January 4, 2010!

May your learning be sweet.
