It is more blessed to give than to receive

Giving is the best there is, we feel more satisfied when  give  than when  receive it.

If you love those who love you, what merit do you have? For sinners also love those who love them (Lk 6:32). The love of God parents is his absolute gratitude

If you are really giving something of value , something of need you must never look back to him for receiving another in exchange for that . Start becoming affable

Agreed !! Thank you for such a great article. One should always know the importance of giving. Rich are those who helps everyone, though they do not have anything to survive.

Thank you @olawalium, I love the Bill Gates story you shared, I've heard it before  but it still looks new and original to me. 

Don't hold back the little, it might mean the whole world to the one receiving it. 

Nothing is more beautiful than to touch the souls of men with your gifts. 

Today is one of the most happiest day for me because I was able to contribute my quota to save the little girl of a friend who was down on the sick bed. Those are the feelings you get when you render help.

..............adding more to this beautiful thought. 

Some people have nature that they give but are shy to share about there contribution. I have had the honor of knowing a few people like these. I consider there nature not just rare but also the truest to the spirit of being giving to others. 

Of course this takes away nothing from those who are not as shy. People are different and that makes it only better. More flower the orchid has, more beautiful it looks :-)

This is such a beautiful article. Thank you for writing this. I can't wait to share this story with others!

Wow,  Bill Gates is one of my mentors and since I've been reading about him, I haven't read this instance about him. This is so inspiring. Your pen doesn't bleed indeed but it speaks emotions. Thank you @olawalium

Awwwwww!!! Nice and beautiful remembrance of Mr Bill story. Indeed the price at payback can never be comparable to the price at the point of giving(sacrifice). Giving is a good virtue that cant be measured. Giving places you above. NOTE:  A giving can be someone else's reward for a certain giving he/she had done before. Giving is Living.![images.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUk8d7XakPB7jev2KTp4ZvqngSabZp6RxjZV48gqyjf47/images.png).
@olawalium you are a very inspiring writer and i pray that God continue to increase your insight.
But one thing is worthy of note, You can give without Loving but you can't  Love without giving. A true giving is from zero not plenty or abundance, the Bill story.
Conclusion;  Unfortunately we are to conscious of expectation(getting back) and its as if we are not getting our desire, we give up giving attitude. May the good lord guide our hearts. Not forgetting...good measure pressed down shaken together...
Thanks once again for sharing.

<div class="text-justify">I am fortunate that I often meet with great people. Not great thought, but great action.

I am so amazed and respectful of people whose lives think more and do more for things outside of themselves.

They no longer think only of themselves. He was melting into a minister for his outside interests. Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa, Muhammad Yunus is a real example.

Is the need for a meaningful life like this to be dominated only by people of their caliber? Apparently not.

Maslow mentioned that this is our need, too, at a higher level. Self-actualization.

Anthony Robbins - because I often hear the CDs - also often repeat the same thing with different terms. We need a meaningful life. Significance.

We should envy those who touch and make a difference to the lives of others. They are the glowing lights that illuminate the way of the people.

I think we can do it, no matter how small it is, with what we have today.</div>
