Everyone serves a useful purpose

I just ran across this quote from Laurence J. Peter.

"Every man serves a useful purpose: A miser, for example, makes a wonderful ancestor."

What a great reminder that even seemingly negative traits can have positive effects!

Everyone has value.

That is one of the main premises of the freak factor. We need to recognize that value and find ways exploit that value to our life and work.

So, next time your spouse, coworkers or friends complain that you are stingy, cheap and a miser, just tell them that you will make a wonderful ancestor.
