So many of our SalesQuotes are hidden within greater thoughts and passages. The quote above is pulled from the excerpt below from Einstein’s essay, The World as I See It.
“How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people — first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.”
Einstein was a Smover.
Ditto M. Bweendo says:
“One knows from daily life that one exists for other people.” I totally agree, as I take leaf from the Master, Jesus Christ. He said, in John 101:10 . . . I come that you might have life and life more abundantly. Notice, for us to have abundantly life and not Him. And since my master has set an example, I must do that which He did. For example, at home, in my family, I work in order to provide for my children and my wife. I have to protect them. When I go to the office, I always look for someone whose spirit I must lift. I try by all means to be a “There you are person”.
