Everybody wants to be given something but nobody wants to give anything... Hi myLotters.. When I open my twitter account today, that quote above was the first thing I saw on my timeline... I just think its true! We always wanted to receive something from someone else but some of us are afraid to give...

If you will give more, you will receive more but many of us are not willing to share what they have. If I am one of those rich politicians, I am willing to share all my blessings to the less fortunate children who wanted to study but do not have enough money.

Yes ate.. Some of us are afraid to give out. Maybe because of some bad experiences in their past..

Maybe some are afraid of giving because many people are taking advantage of you if you are too kind to them.

I am a believer that there no such free lunch in this world. So, when I received something I would want to give something back, cause I don;t want to owe anyone. Especially when it is some affections or friendship, I would try my best to give in return.

Of course it's my own opinion! Do you expect to get the same opinion as yours?

Fortunatly it is not always true and each one of us should try to give a little bit everyday so as to learn how to do it. Once you do, it´s routine such as washing your teeth. The feeling of being able to give is a lot more rewarding than the happiness of receiving. But I also know that sometimes being able to receive is a way of giving happiness to the giver.

I really like the words of "Give & Take", even hard to apply it in daily life, but we really have to start to do it...

This is not the case for everybody... I still believe that there are kind hearted people like me who doesn't expect something in return.. I believe in the old saying that the more you give, the more you receive... So for those people who always keep thinking of themselves.. just like the big businesses out there start sharing your fortune to your workers.. believe me you will more be blessed because many people that you had heleped will pray for more blessings for you to be able to share more...

Whatever did happen to a world of give and take? We can't expect it to always be one sided. we can't always take from each other. yet we can't always the one to give either. there needs to be a balance for a better existence.

Give and take . . . When someone give you a gift, it doesn't necessarily mean you will have to give him too. It could mean that you could return it, by being kind and helpful to him. You give and in return , will be given goodness.

hello, That is absolutely true! agree! We always want something but we never know how to give to others it is like a relationship when he loves you must love him back. right? It is also like treating other people you give respect and other people will also respect you that's how the words works as GIVE AND TAKE.

Yes true. we should give even though it's not Christmas season or birthdays. The more you give, the more you'll receive. Jesus said."What you do others, you do unto me." so we give something to Jesus if we give our bro or sis something. doesn't need to be expensive as long as the thought counts...(good thoughts, not bad thoughts because the Greeks gave a Trojan Horse to deceive the Trojans. i hope you know what I mean Big companies have corporate social responsiblity(CSR-social help projects) so they receive something.

Hi there.. I think it's not applicable to all..If you are in a situation who gives, you should not expect something in return..Give and take is more likely just a thought of everybody.. My point is, if you I am the person who receive something, I am not oblige to give him/her something back. A simple thank you would be considerably accepted as "give"..Give and take is not always reflecting on a "thing".. I think it's not that you're afraid to give, maybe you're not just contented of what he/she give back to you..

There are some people out there that are true givers, but what happens is they get take advantage of. After awhile some of them become more cautious and stop giving, but there are those that never stop, but they are very rare. It all starts within us so when we learn knew things we should apply it to ourselves.

a lot of people have been hurt in the past and are afraid to open up to people to even try to give. I think that it should be 50/50 but with how people act these days its hard to even see that happen...
