How does C. S. Lewis do that, every paragraph is a book

I once read this somewhere, that a father used to buy goods from poor people at high prices, even though he didn't need the things. Sometimes he even paid more than the asking price. One day I asked him "why are you doing this dad?" reply: "It's charity wrapped in dignity, son."

A Lady asks, "How much do you sell your eggs for?" The old vendor replies "50¢ an egg, madam." The Lady says, I'll take 6 eggs for $2.50 or I'm leaving. The old salesman replies buy them at the price you want, Madam.

Why do we always need to show that we have power when we buy from the needy?

And why are we so generous to those who don't even need our generosity?

Doctors won’t make you healthy.

Nutritionists won’t make you slim.

Teachers won’t make you smart.

Gurus won’t make you calm.

Mentors won’t make you rich.

Trainers won’t make you fit.

Ultimately, you have to take responsibility.

Save yourself.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The world needs fewer gurus and more scholars.

Gurus preach from intuition. Scholars teach from evidence.

Gurus promote themselves. Scholars promote ideas.

Gurus defend ideas. Scholars explore ideas.

Gurus make promises. Scholars ask questions.
