And not generous acts, but being a fully generous person. Walking around with the intent of being generous, you have to actually be aware of what's going on around you to be effectively generous.

So even that form of generosity comes back to you. Karma is real. Karma has been written about for 2,000 years. So karma is something that is not a new concept. And generosity has been written about. You can't pick up any, you can't pick up the Bible, the Koran, the Jewish Bible, the Book of Mormon. They all talk about the importance of generosity.

Almost every philosopher has talked about how important being considerate and caring about others is for your own well-being. Some philosophers have talked about it for years.

I'll give an example that many people have quoted. One of the most successful people in history, actually. I worked directly with Steve Jobs when he was at Next and indirectly at Apple for many years. There are many quotes that circulate on the internet now of his last and final words with his best friends.

And all of them say that he talked about he wished that he had been more generous in his life. He wished he had benefited those around him. Now, I think there's a little bit of a misnomer there because he was not a kind person. I sat in rooms and watched him berate people. other people and do it in a very inconsiderate and unkind way.

But his generosity, his focus of generosity was to change the world and make it a better place. He wanted to empower everybody of all abilities to be able to use technology for themselves. And his compass was generous. His manner was not. And in the end, I think he wished that his manner had been different. So I think that's probably the best example that I can give.

Most of the great leaders that I worked with, John Chambers and Andy Jassy and many others, actually were generous people. They worked harder than those people around them to create success for others. Some of them were very myopic and maybe didn't have the best interpersonal skills, but I don't know that they were I wouldn't say they were not generous.

I think that maybe they just didn't understand generosity, which again is one of my goals is to help people understand what generosity is, how simple, very simple, easy things when done with the right intent can make a tremendous impact in the world.

I think that greed is a big part of it. And the reason I say greed is because there are powerful entities and people who are using divide, who are using conflict and creating conflict amongst parties to line their own pockets with money. When you have a media, all of our media outlets, there's not a single good one out there, right? They're not reporting news anymore. It's all opinion.
