If a man be endued with a generous mind, this is the best kind of nobility.

Rank you were born into decides nothing about your quality, while generosity of mind can be had by anyone and shows immediately. It looks like giving people the better interpretation, sharing credit without being asked, and not needing to be the largest presence in the room. That is the distinction worth having.

When you catch yourself keeping score this week, let one item go unrecorded. Pass on a piece of credit that would have been yours. Notice that it costs almost nothing and changes how people are around you.
