Paying it Forward, Responsibilities beyond our lifetime
Author's summary: Emphasizing responsibility to others beyond our lifetime.
Think of your family history. The author's grandfather was part of the greatest generation, born in 1897, and fought in World War I. He was the first in his family line of farmers to go to college, graduating with a doctorate degree using the GI bill of the times. He had a passion to educate the teachers needed to bring America to its potential as a world leader.
He and my father would argue about individuals’ responsibility to pay income taxes. My dad would argue that my grandfather paid too much and could take more deductions; he countered that the country needed the funds for the greatness that would come.
We have a responsibility to others in service beyond our lifetime. Wishing better outcomes for all is good for all as compared to a self-centered focus on individual progress. The world is flat — ideas, creation of products and businesses revenue know no boundaries. The challenge is human capital, the workforce that powers the economy.
