I would like to share a positive experience with you.
I used to work for a partner at a law firm and today I spoke to him as I usually call him around this time of the year to wish him and his family happy holidays and catch up. I had worked for him for five years and I quit about five years ago. I loved working for him.
Anyways, he mentioned that he is adopting another child and she arrives this Friday. He already has two adopted kids and three biological kids. He and his wife are both 54 years old.
When I asked what motivated them to adopt another child, his response was “we felt like we are not giving back as much as we should”.
I wish that more accomplished and financially wealthy people thought and acted like he and his wife did.
I hope you enjoy this incident as much as I could because it did give me hope in humanity.
