Selling Human Happiness
By Jack Dionne
The planning, selling, and building of HOMES, is simply trafrcking in HUMAN HAPPINESS.
And therefore a profession "dear to the gods."
The world owes no man a living.
But every man owes the world a LIFE.
And, as he pays the world that life he owes, the world in return will pay him a living -and as much more as he PAYS for.
The man who is devoting his life to the planning and selling of HOMES and other necessary buildings, is paying his debt to the world, and the world will reciprocate.
Philosophers have agreed from time immemorial-and their thought rings true in human experience every time-that only as a man makes other people happy, does he deserve happiness himself ; and only on that basis should he expect happiness.
And since the business of home building is the business of making humans happy, the building merchant has the privilege and the opportunity in his everyday work, of paying his debt to the world and to Providence.
The man who is planning, selling, and building HOMES, is tuning in with the best there i's in life.
And he has the splendid consciousness that he makes his way in life and his investment profit, and leaves happiness and satisfaction behind him as he goes.
Few professions can say as much.
The time has arrived in this world's history when that man will be the most respected who bestows the most benefits here and now.
In the old days that man carried the most weight who made the biggest promises about the life to come. We are learning that he who lives most abundantly here, and helps the other fellow to do the same, is making the best possible preparations for whatever the future may bring.
Emerson said: "That country is the fairest which is inhabited by noble minds."
And by live building merchants.
