That the Mother Theresa method works is evidenced by some 5,000 nuns around the world who imitate what she did in serving the poor. But those who have truly &quot;enlightened self interest&quot; also realize at some level that giving is critical to receiving.<\/p>\n<p><b>By contrast, the narcissist <\/b>takes self interest to a point that it becomes destructive. The narcissist may at times have a good goal or ideas, but it can be overshadowed by their totally self-serving nature.<\/p>\n<p>The balance that must be struck is akin to that on an airplane when cabin pressure is lost. The parent must take the oxygen mask first before placing it on their child. You can give if you don&#39;t survive.<\/p>\n<p>Ideas and intercourse &#8211; here we speak of social and intellectual, not sexual, intercourse &#8211; need to flow freely in order for there to be health.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"106\" src=\"http:\/\/manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/business-as-usual-dead-end-mhpronews.jpg\" style=\" float: left; margin-top: 8px; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;\" width=\"220\" \/>This reality is vividly portrayed in Nature by the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee. The Dead Sea is dead precisely because water flows in, stagnates and the life in it tends to or does die. By contrast, the Sea of Galilee has water flow in and water flow out. Life thrives in the Sea of Galilee because of that free flowing and purifying exchange of water.<\/p>\n<p>What makes for a good association &#8211; or pro-industry focused trade media &ndash; is in part precisely the opportunity to interact with others, to share ideas, for there to be an opportunity to test what works and what doesn&#39;t.<\/p>\n<p>There is power in unity. But there is also power in sharing. The testing and healthy interaction are critical for the health of a business, an organization or a trade publisher.<\/p>\n<p>For example, we share an Internet stage broadly here on MHProNews.com with others. <i>This benefits all involved. <\/i> You are reading this post, while others are reading something else from someone else on this same site.<\/p>\n<p>Giving real opportunities yields real growth. When the thought is &#39;win-win&#39; vs. &#39;win-lose,&#39; the opportunity and odds for sustained growth blossoms.<\/p>\n<p><b>Giving and Getting<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We get by giving. We don&#39;t walk up to a fireplace and say, <i>&#39;give me heat and I&#39;ll give you wood.&#39;<\/i> Rather, we give the wood, plus the kindling and then supply the match or flame that ignites the mix which produces warmth as well as an enchanting, romantic light.<\/p>\n<p>We can make a plant grow for a time with insufficient water or without the right blend of nutrients. But without the proper balance, it will over time wither and die. The same happens in business.<\/p>\n<p>We have to be open to receiving as well as to giving. Imagine a plant that was given proper nutrients rejecting those necessities! The lower (non-intellectual) side of Nature does not do this, but <i><b>ironically humanity at times does. <\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p>What we come down to is this. The giving and receiving &#8211; the exchange &#8211; of ideas and opportunities yields growth. Neither you nor I can do it all, nor can anyone else. We need each other. We need what is unique in the other to be able to make up for the fact that each of us has our limits.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to grow? Give.<\/p>\n<p>Give your time to an organization &#8211; business or other &#8211; in some fashion that taps the best of what you have to offer. But do so knowing you will also interact &#8211; get and receive &#8211; back in the process. As suggested above, this is part of the glory of a good association event or at a good trade show.<\/p>\n<p>You can give by writing, if that is a talent you possess.

We may stew about a lack of sufficient engagement on political issues and a host of issues.
