The great secret of true success, of true happiness, then, is this: the man who asks for no return, the perfectly unselfish man, is the most successful.
It seems to be a paradox.
Do we not know that every man who is unselfish in life gets cheated, gets hurt?
Apparently, yes.
"Christ was unselfish, and yet he was crucified."
True, but we know that his unselfishness is the reason,
the cause of a great victory -- the crowning of millions upon millions of lives with the blessings of true success.
