Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

It's a good thought....it paralels christianity in a way.
Makes me want to get out there and share the gospel even more.

Og Mandino was a sales motivator, albeit a Christian, but nonetheless he was a salesman. His goal was money, not the salvation of souls. I have read some of his books. In the quote that you have given, nowhere does it say to insure that the person is saved, which is the most important thing to look after. If the individual is not saved, then all the kindness, care and understanding will do them no good.

I think today's girls are raised to be more independent women except maybe in fundamentalist families. They expect to have a career or a job at least. When I was a kid, that was not so. It's still okay for a girl to be a tomboy but not for a boy to be feminine. Changes happen slowly. Maybe one day the fem boy will not be a pariah.

your life will never be the same because there is no joy greater to have than the joy you get for being a great person just for the sake of being alive.

As a non religious person, I would have said it this way..
"Waiting for Tomorrow...is a Waste of Today".....so do unto others now, as tomorrow may never come.......

I say to do what the Holy Spirit leads you to do. For some, it is physically helping for others it is praying quietly in the background.

Do unto others as you would have them do to you. Love your enemies and do good to them that hate you.

I think that if you can manage to live your life that way, you'll be very very happy. But it's only human if one doesn't succeed...
