What Can I Do To Help YOU Today?

I was surprised to find in the opening pages of Donald Trump’s book “How to Get Rich” these quotes:

The Mother of All Advice

Trust in God and be true to yourself.

-  Mary Trump, my (Donald’s) Mother

When I look back, that was great advice, concise and wise at once. I didn’t really get it at first, but because it sounded good, I stuck to it. Later I realized how comprehensive this is-how to keep your bases covered while thinking about the picture. It’s good advice no matter what your business or lifestyle.

The quote I enjoy most from the biography I just read (George Washington Carver) told how his students at the University where he taught most of his latter years, asked him what time he wakes and how did he start his days. He said, he would wake each day at 4am, go somewhere quiet and spend time talking with God. Most of us have a shopping list of requests, needs, prayers requiring answers. George Washington Carver said all he did was ask God: Lord, what can I do to help you Today? George would then wait for the answer. And do it. 

I like that. A lot.
