We are all creators


You must get rid of the thought of competition. You are to create, not to compete for what is already created.

You do not have to take anything away from any one.

You do not have to drive sharp bargains.

You do not have to cheat, or to take advantage. You do not need to let any man work for you for less than he earns.

You do not have to covet the property of others, or to look at it with wishful eyes; no man has anything of which you cannot have the like, and that without taking what he has away from him.

You are to become a creator, not a competitor; you are going to get what you want, but in such a way that when you get it every other man will have more than he has now.

Looks like good stuff, all of it. Where do you find such writings?

All of these great 100-year-old works are available in the public domain, and the Internet makes it easier than ever to access them. Let's pray that 100 years from now, today's wisdom will be as easily accessible! The intellectual property hoarders are trying hard to prevent that.
