I can't think of any sentiment which is finer than being in a position to give people something they like. I love giving, I am rather embarrassed at receiving.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As I get, I give. Giving as you get is critical. It has everything to do with being happy for yourself, and making others happy is the cause of making yourself happy, and it's the cycle of giving and getting.
To give and then not feel that one has given is the very best of all ways of giving.
My message is that giving is very important. Giving is a Jewish thing, and I like to talk about that. There's nothing more important, personally, for anybody than being able to give.
Giving is better than receiving because giving starts the receiving process.
Giving is an expression of gratitude for our blessings.
For me, I get immense pleasure out of giving. I do what I can. I try and give around 10% of my earnings a year. Some years, I give more, some I give less.
I'm pretty good at surprising friends and family with gifts. I tend to go towards the more sentimental side of giving.
The best thing about giving of ourselves is that what we get is always better than what we give. The reaction is greater than the action.
I love to give. I've been a giver all my life.
I'm from the bottom, I understand what it's like to have and to not have. My perception on giving is to put yourself in those people's shoes and go from there. So that's what I did.
