"You Gotta Have Balls" by Brandon Steiner

"If you want more money, don't pay attention to the money. Pay attention to the thing that makes the money."

"Do as much as you can, for as many people as you can, as often as you can, without expecting anything in return,"

"Don't worry about what you're getting back from someone you're giving something to. Don't worry about how many dollars that person is going to equal for you. It's counter-intuitive, but there's definitely more joy in giving than receiving . . . Most people can't do that. They're too concerned with what they're getting back from the other person. They keep score."

"Being generous with what you have without keeping score is the only way to live. It strengthens your spirit, it keeps you focused on the people who make your business what it is, and it helps breed success."

There is an old saying in Africa that goes like this: Every morning a gazelle gets up and knows that it must out-run the fastest lion or it will get eaten. And every morning, a lion gets up and knows that it must out-run the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.

So, whether you are a gazelle or a lion, every morning when you get up, you'd better be running.

Mackay's Moral: If you go the extra mile, you will almost always beat the competition.
