Don’t believe that “if you give, the world gives back”? Where does that leave you?
I was delighted to have a very busy week recently with International Women’s Day. I talked to two corporate audiences, spoke at the “Women & Enterprise” Week in Derry, and sponsored an event for Roscommon Women’s Network, among others.
In each case, I always finish with a slide that shows the word give superimposed over receive. As you won’t have missed I’m sure, the latter has more letters than the former. This play on words is a visual reminder of my belief that if you give to the world, you will receive much more in return.
The other day I got a cheque in the post, the first royalties cheque for the textbook I wrote with Trudie Murray and Brian O’Connor. Now very few people ever get rich writing textbooks, that’s for sure. Still – it’s a sum that won’t go unused!
