On first hearing these words we get a little uncomfortable. The word greedy rarely rings as something pure and worth pursuing.
However, this concept of long-term greed is simply another way to discuss the Law of Harvest and the Law of Cause and Effect.
Long-term greed does its homework.
Long-term greed honors the relationship.
Long-term greed saves a penny, earns a penny, and sees the penny multiplied.

Let us not be shortsighted for such a destination…it’s going to be a long flight.
