“For those to whom much is given, much is required.”
That’s John F. Kennedy paraphrasing the gospel according to Luke.
The wealthier you are, the less of your daily 24-hour allotment you need to spend earning money. Instead, with less pressure on you to produce via your labors, you can put your time to other uses.
Being a philanthropist doesn’t necessarily mean creating a charitable foundation or acting self-righteously. It can simply mean supporting programs and people you value. Whether you give your time, scratch a check, or do both, you’ll find that being a mentor is even more rewarding than having one. Share your knowledge, and you’ll receive a payback on your investment beyond your wildest expectations.
