Charles Schwab - Love May Bring Heartache

There is the account of Charles Schwab, the wealthy industrialist. In one incident he went to court and won a nuisance suit at age 70. After the trial he made the following statement: “I’d like to say here in a court of law, and speaking as an old man, that nine-tenths of my troubles are traceable to my being kind to others. Look, you young people, if you want to steer away from trouble, be hard-boiled. Be quick with a good loud NO to anyone and everyone. If you follow this rule, you will seldom be bothered as you tread life’s pathway. Except you’ll have no friends, you’ll be lonely, miserable and depressed and you won’t have any fun!” Schwab had made his point – love may bring heartache, but it’s worth it!  (Larry Jacobs - Sermon Central)
