This is true but a little praise now and then can go a long way, too!
The intrinsic reward of doing good unto others.
More people should realize this - but how often are good deeds done for reward - and not even always a physical reward.
Is it still a good deed if done for profit?
And isn't the ultimate profit going to heaven when you die?
So are deeds done to 'be good and go to heaven' actually good?
