\\ The Dollars Are in the Way


Henry Ford once asked an associate about his life goals. The man replied

that his goal was to make a million dollars. A few days later Ford gave the

man a pair of glasses made out of two silver dollars. He told the man to put

them on and asked what he could see. "Nothing," the man said. "The dollars

are in the way." Ford told him that he wanted to teach him a lesson: If his

only goal was dollars, he would miss a host of greater opportunities. He

should invest himself in serving others, not simply in making money.
