Humanitarian Acts & Community Volunteers
I heard someone say that you can’t teach others humanitarian behaviors, I disagree. Humanitarian Acts & Community Volunteers – If you keep hitting at the heart, at some point that heart is going to react. At what point it begins to react, that is the question. It is similar to teaching children to share in the sandbox. Eventually, they learn to play together. Same with volunteering – the more you do it, the more you enjoy it.

Humanitarian Giving – If it isn’t fun, you’re doing it wrong.
Humanitarian Giving – If it isn’t fun, you’re doing it wrong. There is a number of articles out there about giving to charities, Humanitarian Giving.

Risk Takers act differently – the courage of being free How long has it been since you have felt the Adrenalin pumping through your veins as you landed your first big deal, sold that property, or made the biggest financial score of your lifetime?
