Editorial: The happiest people in life

In his autobiography, “Up From Slavery”, Booker T Washington devoted an entire chapter to the topic of helping others. Chapter Four was literally entitled “Helping others”. From that chapter came one of Booker T’s most famous quotes. Upon reflecting on the education which he received at the Hampton Institute in Virginia he wrote, “The education that I received at Hampton out of the text-books was but a small part of what I learned there. One of the things that impressed itself upon me deeply, the second year, was the unselfishness of the teachers. It was hard for me to understand how any individuals could bring themselves to the point where they could be so happy in working for others. Before the end of the year, I think I began learning that those who are happiest are those who do the most for others. This lesson I have tried to carry with me ever since.”
