Self Improvement Tip of the Day: The Need to Contribute and Connect

The need to contribute or to make a spiritual connection is also the need that drove Andrew Carnegie, the richest man in the world and the man who was ultimately responsible for Napoleon Hill writing Think and Grow Rich, the book that started the modern personal development industry. Carnegie gave away most of his vast fortune, funding and establishing countless libraries, schools, universities and other institutions which continue to educate and help millions of people worldwide today.

This was philanthropy on the grandest scale that few can replicate, but many people feel driven to contribute to worthwhile causes as they become better off financially. Cynics may think that many well off people only give to charity to avoid paying tax or for similar reasons, but this certainly isn't always the case. There are many, many genuinely philanthropic wealthy people. Some will have always been that way inclined, and some will become more committed to helping others as they become wealthier, perhaps due to gratitude and wanting to give something back, or the genuine desire to make a contribution to others.
