The Rich Man and the Beggar

"Many years ago, a man was sitting in a ravine in a quiet contemplation when he was pestered by a village beggar.
_"Where is the stone," said the beggar. "I need the precious stone!"
The man looked up toward him smiling.
_ "What stone looking for?"
_"The bank, find a man who would give me a precious stone that would save me from poverty forever "
The man looked thoughtful, then reached his bag and pulled out a large diamond.
_ "Is this the stone," he asked gently."
_"I found her on the way. If you want, you can have it. "
The beggar could not believe his luck, tore the stone from the man's hands and ran back to the village, before he changed his mind.
A year later, the beggar, already dressed in rich man's clothes, returned to the ravine in search of his anonymous benefactor.
_ "You are back, my friend," said the man, again sitting in his favorite spot, enjoying the quiet stream of water.
_"What happened?"
The beggar-demoted to the man.
_ "Happened to me many wonderful things because of the stone so graciously offered me. I became rich, married and got home. Today I can give employment to others and do what I want, when I want and who I want. "
_ "So why back," the man asked.
_ "Please," said the beggar, "teach me all that is within him that allowed him to offer me that stone so graciously. "

This story tells of one of the points which for me is central to the concept of success: CONTRIBUTION. Many billionaires and successful in general people, feel a certain time of life that has everything you can imagine or that goes beyond the ordinary mortal imagination and this can lead to frustration of states, because it seems that life has lost its meaning . Many of these people rediscover happiness and a higher and deeper state, to actively contribute to society, including participating in volunteer work and humanitarian causes. Never forget that one way to feel successful and happy person is to know who is creating value for others, what we do is useful, inspires people and ultimately helps to save. Be monetary contribution or other contributions. Give without expecting anything in return.
