"there is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success"
The most important things about giving is to give with out remembering and to take without forgetting.
When you think that you have nothing to give - remember what Barbara Bush said ....
Some people give time, some money, some their skills and connections, some literally give their life's blood. But everyone has something to give.
For those that are scared to give remember you don't loose anything by giving ....
Live to give instead of to get. As you concentrate on the giving, you discover that just as you cannot receive without giving, so neither can you give without receiving - even the most wonderful things like health and happiness and inner peace. - Peace Pilgrim
And the final word about giving goes to Isabel Allende who really sums it up perfectly .....
Give, give, give - what is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don't give it away? Of having stories if I don't tell them to others? Of having wealth if I don't share it? I don't intend to be cremated with any of it! It is in giving that I connect with others, with the world and with the divine.
