The by-product is that they more people you help, the "richer" you become, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and definitely financially.

To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.

My parents went through the whole sixties rebellion with my brother and sister. But I didn't feel like I had to rebel because I didn't have anyone telling me I couldn't do something. I never went into that parents-as-enemies stage.
