To Get Something, First Give a Little Thing!


One wrong brick, added to the foundation of life, can make it crumbling down when you least expect it; one right choice, made at the beginning, can help you smile through the pains of life! You always live, the consequences of your own choice.

Nobody likes to be disliked, but only a handful are immensely liked by many! Why? Because, liking is the manifestation of a sense respect that one person develop in his mind for the other.

Frankly speaking, none can like you -- without first respecting you. We leave no stone unturned to be liked by others, without really focusing on earning some respect from them. And there we go wrong, wondering what went wrong!

Neither being a CEO in organizational hierarchy, nor holding the position of a head of the family, can catalyze the process of being liked in that domain -- unless you command some respect from your team, and family members.

And that respect is the child of unconditional giving - without expectations - that you must practice genuinely, not just pretend! Give away, as much as you can, sincerely, without expectations, and watch how people start liking you even beyond your expectations.

Nothing comes free of cost in life, not even the 'LIKINGs.' Always remember, to get something, first you must give something. Trust me, once you master the art of giving without expectation, life starts rewarding you with everything that you may expect least.

Personally speaking, I have suffered, and hugely, while practicing this concept, however, in the long run, I found it to be exceptionally rewarding in terms of earning respect from others.

So what, if I have failed to save a lot of money; so what, if my net-worth is shamefully disclosable, but what makes my my life meaningful is a few note of thanks, uttered by some -- with RESPECT!
