If you don't think every day is a good day, just try missing one.
You built a factory out there, good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads that the rest of us paid for. You hired workers that the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for.

Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others.
