Many people think that only by thinking about oneself, taking care of numero uno ..is the only way to get ahead in life..But reality is when you forget yourself and think of others..you cannot help but advance; you have so many more hands to help you when you fall behind.

So true. It is by helping others that we help ourselves. It is through our kindness to others that we find peace. I try every day to do something for someone else. In today's society where it is "everyone for themself", it is often difficult for others to accept our kindnesses. If only everyone put forth the effort to help someone else every day, our world would be such a better place for everyone. Thanks for this post.

I always think of others first, just like with my family. I put them ahead of me, because how they do and how they feel are very important to me. I am still able to keep myself where I need to be, but it is just my nature to put them before me. I always try to see things from someone else point of view first, so I will be able to handle whatever the situation maybe alot smoother.
