The Wisdom of Giving by Bob Proctor

Henry Ford knew about success. He once said that the person who will use their skills and constructive imagination to see how much they can give for a dollar, instead of how little they can give for a dollar, is bound to succeed.

That was wise advice. Giving has always been the cause of receiving. I recently came across an old article on ‘giving’, written by William Arthur Ward, I world like to share with you.

The Wisdom Of Giving

They who give have all things,

States the Hindu proverb.

They who withhold have nothing.

A Dutch proverb expresses it this way:

The generous man enriches himself by giving; the miser hoards himself poor.
Some give generously who give of their possessions. Others give substantially who share their talents. Still others give significantly who give of their knowledge, wisdom, counsel and insight.

You are wise to rise to the challenge of Longfellow:

Give what you have to someone. It may be better than you dare to think.

You can give yourself to your fellow man in a variety of ways. There is a time merely to listen to his problems.

There is another time simply to give of your presence. Often the greatest gift you can bestow on your friend is the assurance of your availability.

Remember the words of Albert Schweitzer:

You must give some time to your fellow man. Even if it is a little thing, do something for those who have need of help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.

You are wise to give while the need is greatest. Ponder the truth in the Italian proverb:

A gift long expected is sold, not given.
