What I want to remember from today, from this week’s James Clear newsletter,
“A short lesson about kindness and generosity:
I heard my mom asking our neighbor for some salt. We had salt at home so I asked her why she was asking.
She told me, ‘They don’t have much money and they sometimes ask us for things. So I asked for something small that wouldn’t burden them. I want them to feel as if we needed them too. That way, it will be much easier for them to ask us for anything they need.’
Source: I haven’t found the original source for this one; if you know, please share.” —James Clear
Neighbor: “WTF don’t they buy a $2 box of salt, already?”
