I just wrote a hasty post about why I help others just yesterday (http://jnorthrop.tumblr.com/post/10094419737/karma http://jnorthrop.tumblr.com/post/10094419737/karma). You don't list it among your options but helping others has basic intrinsic rewards that adds to your own self-satisfaction. I help when and where I can and I enjoy it. What is more enjoyable, using some specialized expertise for an hour to help an appreciative entrepreneur or playing Call of Duty? I sound like a new age hippie (which I am not) but I wake up everyday feeling good about the previous day.
