I think it is fascinating that your idea of "being relevant" and "impacting life" is by giving to other people. I'm glad your students are learning this. In western culture, a good life is having lots of money. But what good is money after death? No one benefits. However, leaving a legacy of giving is far more important and will benefit far more people. Being selfless, is actually more rewarding in the end than money. Cool post. Is the photo your class?
I do agree with you on this, if what good is the money after we might have long gone?
