Same principle applies... there is nothing wrong with small s selfish. It is the BIG S SELFISH that is the issue.
I was / am a single mother of two very talented and challenged individuals. They have taken EVERYTHING I could ...$$ financially have... and left me with nothing...I am NOT complaining as I think that it was done for me so I pass on the favour (pay it forward - so to speak)
