I think one big reason we’re in trouble is that people would rather have a small benefit for themselves and a corresponding larger loss for others. I feel it too. Something that means relatively little to me and a lot to someone else, but I (almost always) choose me. If you go the other way, you give up everything because there is infinite need. Everyone with less than you shows up.
What’s weird is that we all want to be respected and loved, but those we’ve revered most have really worked for others. It’s so hard to emulate that. But it also hints at the fundamental value of a good business: generate your own wealth by delivering maximum value for others. Build something people want.
