It's Not Math...It's Golden
Seth Godin the other day posted the The Math of Favors where he talks about the transactions we enter into regularly thusly:
1. I'm doing you a favor
2. You're doing me a favor
3. Business as usual (he says, "favorless transaction" but later calls it B A U)
Here's another example of "the rest of the world" catching up to Jesus. Godin ends his post with this:
Of course a few thousand years ago, Jesus said it like this "Do to others as you would have them do to you."
Do you think it could work?

The shortcut to success is this: why not always act as if the other guy is doing the favor?
