Helping hands.

Lucky, the heroine of my book "Lucky Every Day" has come to New York to begin life afresh. Alec, the family friend to whom she turns for shelter, tells her "the best way to escape our own misery is to help someone else with theirs. Think it over". ( p.7)

Do you honestly think that this is the only reason why people help those in need? What do you think is the driving force behind the good work of Albert Schweitzer, Mother Teresa, Bill Gates and countless others who only work for the betterment of mankind?
