A few days ago, one of my students posted a status update that said, “Take care of yourself, and you will do great things.”

I responded to his status update with, “Take care of other people, and YOU will be great.”  Great play on words and his ideas, I thought.  I think that it’s a great thing to be a great person.

I’ve thought about it more though.  I think that both sayings work well together.  Both sides are needed.  Taking care of yourself is not a bad thing and neither is taking care of others.  Doing great things isn’t the same as being great, but when you are being great – anything that you do is great.

So we need both – both to take care of ourselves and take care of people and to be great and do great things.
