July 13th Reading from The Daily Stoic (Round 2) - A Leader Leads

"One person, on doing well by others, immediately accounts the expected favor in return. Another is not so quick, but still considers the person a debtor and knows the favor. A third kind of person acts as if not conscious of the deed, rather like the vine producing a cluster of grapes without making further demands, like a horse after its race, or a dog after its walk, or a bee after making its honey. Such a person, having done a good deed, won't go shouting from the rooftops but simply moves on to the next deed just like the vone produces another bunch of grapes in the right season."

~ Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 5.6
