The Seven Lesson of Yoda of Why You Should Give:
- If I am not for me, who will be for me?
- If not now, when?
- A righteous man falls down seven times and gets up.
- Don’t say I will give when I have time, lest you never find the time.
- I don’t speak because I have the power to speak; I speak because I don’t have the power to remain silent.
- It is not incumbent upon you to finish the task, but neither are you free to absolve yourself from it.
- The day is short, the labor vast, the toilers idle, the reward great, and the Master impatient.
The Seven Lessons of Ned:
- You will look in the mirror tomorrow and say, “I am proud.”
- When there are no men, be a man.
- Someday your children will know you cared enough about them to do everything in your power.
- A person who fights for the good keeps evil at bay.
- Because you will help the next guy, the next child, the next family.
- Because to give is to love.
- Because you are what you give.
OK, let’s face it, Yoda’s seven are way better than Ned’s. But full disclosure, Yoda didn’t write his seven lessons — they are ancient wisdom writings.
