To Get.. Learn To Give First !!!

Nothing teaches character better than generosity.

Giving is better than receiving because giving starts the receiving process.
Only by giving are you able to receive more than you already have. Curiously enough, the giving spirit creates the receiving spirit. So, to get more all one needs to do is give more. The more ideas one creates and gives away the more ideas one has. "I'll spend the first half of my life creating great wealth and the second half giving it away…

Attempting to do the most good and the least harm with my benefactions." -- Andrew Carnegie, the steel baron and philanthropist who funded more than 3,000 libraries all over the world. In giving and sharing you always have more. It seems arithmetically as though one would have less but, in fact, giving expands whatever one has.
Music is the best example of this theory, proving that giving and sharing always creates more for everyone.

When a musician gives their all, they feel exalted and thankful that the music flowed through them. The audience is enthralled, entranced, moved to happy tears, and feels compelled to participate instantaneously in a standing ovation. The star musician bares his soul and the audience experience the 'wow' and delighted to tell everyone to see this performer.
Likewise, the simple act of giving simultaneously creates more good and blessings seemingly out of nowhere. Why? Because God is always watching and cheerfully gives instantaneously to the giver. That's why givers' give more. They have experienced this amazing formula, even if they cannot articulate it.

They know that it works to theirs and every one's benefit. It's best to start the discipline of generosity when the amounts are small. It's easy to give ten cents out of a dollar; it's a little harder to give a hundred thousand out of a million.

Sharing makes you bigger than you are. The more you pour out, the more life will be able to pour in. What you give becomes an investment that will return to you multiplied at some point in the future.
