Fear and greed in the bible

"Do not fear" appears in every book of the bible.

Greed is mentioned more than a few times as well.

There's definitely an investing lesson here...

"So do not fear for I am with you.  Do not be afraid for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you.  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."  -- Isaiah 41:10

"Do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own." -- Matthew 6:34

"A greedy man brings trouble to his family, but he who hates bribes will live."  --Proverbs 15:27

"With their mouths they express devotion, but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain."  --Ezekiel 33:31

Derek Sivers gives his whole company to charity and he's still smiling

Talk about generosity:

Derek Sivers, an innovative internet entrepreneur in the music field, gave his whole company to charity.
He used a charitable trust to do it in a way that maximized the gift and provided him an income for life.

The coolest thing about his story is that his generosity was coupled with a genuine contentment and focus on simplicity.

In the words of the apostle, Paul:

"I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.  I know how to get along with humble means and I also know how to live in prosperity.  I can do all things through him who strengthens me."
-- Philippians 4:11-13
