I always think if you are asking somebody for something it is a good idea to give them something first.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If I don't ask for something, I'm not going to get it.
I give people what they want in the hope that they will begin to want what I want to give them!
You don't want to give people what they want. Give them something that they didn't know that they wanted.
It's amazing how people will give when you don't ask. Many of them send money because they believe in the message.
Question the motives of those who make requests of you. Discover what they really want. You may not want to give it.
An essential idea is that if you give to some person or endeavor in life, you will make that more important.
Being polite and grateful will make people more inclined to help you. And if people are willing to help you, you may accidentally get something you want.
Every time you get something, give something away.
To get it first is important - but more important is to get it right.
To give and then not feel that one has given is the very best of all ways of giving.
