Compensation

A piece from the book "Goals" by Brian Tracy.

In his famous essay "Compensation," Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote that you will always be compensated in life in direct proportion to the value of your contribution. If you want to increase the size of your rewards, you must increase the quality and quantity of your effort. If you want to get more out, you have to put more in. There is no other way.

This applies not only to material and career succes but also to success in relationships. It’s like a savings account. As long as you contribute you will have something to get back. But stop contributing and see what happens when you are looking to get something out.
