The Gift of Giving

I stopped by to say hi to one of my friends (K)at her office. I share a connection with her from the day I joined my university. She is a motherly personality and always offers a warm welcome to international students like me. While catching up with her, I saw this post by W.Clement Stone on her desk and instantly asked for a copy. We were glad that we just clicked with the author's thoughts! Here is an excerpt from the passage

"Be generous! Give to those you love; give to those who love you;give to the fortunate;give to the unfortunate,yes, give specially to those to whom you dont want to give.You will receive abundance for your giving. The more you give the more you will have!"

On reading this I remembered my parents who always taught us the art of living and I cant thank them enough for all the values they inculcated in us as kids. Here's a quote which was recited often by my parents-

"Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you".

Now you know, why i was instantly connected to my friend? The excerpt and the quote concluded the same message :)
