Emerson said; "One of the most beautiful compensations in life is that when people sincerely help others, they also help themselves." We are here When we help others, we are helping ourselves.
Giving is a kind of giving. When we give to others, we are giving up something of our own, such as time, energy, care, property, etc. And these sacrifices will also enable us to gain. I believe everyone has heard this saying: "Giving roses to others leaves fragrance in your hands." This means that when we give to others, we will also gain something ourselves. In fact, this is not an empty statement. Everyone does not exist independently in this world. Everyone will encounter difficulties and problems that they cannot solve. At this time, we need to ask others for help. If we can get help from others, then we will be grateful and hope that we can do something for others in the future. Similarly, when we help others, others will feel grateful and hope that they will lend a helping hand to help us in the future.
Many times, people complain that interpersonal relationships are complicated and close friends are hard to find. There are many reasons for this situation, but the most important reason is probably that we think too much about ourselves and help others too little. It is difficult for a person who does not pay attention to the maintenance of interpersonal relationships to be popular, and "improving" will only make others feel "used". How can such a person gain the trust and welcome of others? How can others be generous to others? Only when we help others on a daily basis will others treat us sincerely.
Many times, interpersonal disputes are directly related to interests. When facing disputes, we cannot always complain that others have violated our interests. Instead, we should reflect on whether we have considered the interests of others. People say that what is convenient for others is convenient for oneself. Only when we provide some benefits to others can we safeguard our own interests. Sometimes, it is just a little effort for us to help others, but we can get unexpected opportunities and gains from it. Just like when Ferry unexpectedly got an order from Carnegie because he helped an elderly lady take shelter from the rain (the old lady was Carnegie's mother, but Ferry didn't know it at the time). If we often lend a helping hand to others, there is no guarantee that we will not meet the "elegant people" in our lives.
So, we must give up some unnecessary self-awareness and help others do what we can. Emerson said; "One of the most beautiful compensations in life is that when people sincerely help others, they also help themselves." When we help others, we are helping ourselves.
