You have to be generous if you want to spend your time making someone else dinner. Even if you're charging, you're still giving.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My giving is discretionary, but keeping the business going is not.
Once you're in charge of your job, your house, your children, getting the food on the table, doing all of this, all of the time, it'd be nice for someone else to be in charge for a bit maybe.
I spend my money on holidays and eating out, and it allows me to be generous.
I don't like going to dinner by myself; I'll call for delivery before I do that. It's awkward if you're at a table all alone. I'm sure nobody even notices, but there's something about it.
What is called generosity is usually only the vanity of giving; we enjoy the vanity more than the thing given.
How much easier is it to be generous than just.
Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.
To my great surprise and pleasure, I have had dinner with most of the people living with whom I would like to have dinner.
I mean, it's nice to get a dinner reservation ahead of other people, but when it comes down to it, the most important thing to me is the actual work.
Be just before you are generous.
