You gotta give it away – Bono
Tonight I sat listening to presentations about leadership, strengths, and character. The thing I realized tonight is that life is about giving myself away to other people, some who will never even know I helped them. As the great prophet Bono once said, “You gotta give it away,” you too must give it away.
As I sit within 15 minutes of the richest man on the face of the earth (I am in Redmond, WA near Bill Gates), I realize I am the luckiest man on the face of the earth. The only way I will stay that lucky is to give it away. To my wife, to my friends, to those I don’t know, to anyone I can help. I can help them through how I was created uniquely for a purpose. “I gotta give it away” – JVD
