You are right on target.

While we try to do something
to the best of our ability,
we may be wrong many time. It
does not matter. I would try
to do something and even if
I am wrong 99 out of 100 times
that 1 time counts for the
person helped. The beneficiary
does not care who or why someone
helped.

Glad that there is at least
one person here who seem to
agree with my philosophy.
