I began to wonder what to do. It occurred to me that I might have gotten myself too tightly wrapped up in my job， to the sacrifice of the basic but nonmaterialistic values of life. It struck me abruptly that I was being quite selfish， that my major interest in people was in what they meant to me， what they represented as business contacts or employees， not what I might mean to them. I remembered that as my mother sent me to Sunday school as a boy， and encouraged me to sing in the church choi， she used to tell me that the value of what she called a good Christian background was in having something to tie to. I put in a little thought recalling the Golden Rule and some of the other first principles of Christianity. I began to get interested in YMCA work.
