BOSTON -- T-shirt entrepreneur Bert Jacobs said today that "life is good" is not just a slogan but a philosophy that helps him and his colleagues make the world a better place.


"See the glass as half full," he advised attendees at America's Credit Union Conference and Expo, where he gave the keynote address.


Jacobs, who began by selling t-shirts in the street and now runs a multi-million dollar company, said money is a tool to help people. He talked more about his company's efforts to raise money for organizations that help children than about business.

"I realized early on we can do more to make money," he said. "Business is a tool to help others."
