Giving More Than We Take is the Best Way to Live Our Lives
In this episode of The Daily Hint, we unpack a transformative idea: true success lies in giving more than we take. This principle isn’t just about altruism—it’s a mindset that can redefine how we live, lead, and innovate.
Small acts of generosity, like offering a smile, and bold initiatives, such as rethinking corporate priorities, have the potential to create ripples of positive change. While many organizations are built on the pursuit of profit, we explore a more impactful benchmark: the opportunities we create for others and the solutions we bring to the world’s most pressing problems.
Drawing from my own journey as an entrepreneur, I challenge the traditional notion of success. What if businesses focused on shared growth rather than just financial gains? What if we measured our impact on humanity, not just our bottom line?
Join me as we explore how individuals and organizations can embrace this mindset to enable collective growth, foster innovation, and build a society rooted in shared success. Let’s discover together why giving more is the key to a better future.

This is why giving more than we take is the best way to live our lives. Everyone can give more. Everyone has the possibility. And even if it is just a nice smile to the other person. But of course, if we look into large organizations, everything is built on profit. And I'm getting, I'm an entrepreneur myself.
But is profit the measure in this world? I believe it's not. It's impact. It's the opportunity that we are creating for ourselves. for other people to solve difficult problems in this world. And as more we do this, as better it is for the humanity. So how do we do this as a society that we share and we enable each other to grow?
It's the big question. Let's figure it out together.
