Giving it back!

How many of us make it a point to give it back?

Yes, we do give it back in double intensity, when it comes to abuses. But otherwise?

If we are corporate employees, we do have clubs which work for betterment of the society – The CSR clubs. But, are we being a part of it? How many times have we seen such mails and just moved them into a random folder or deleted them? If the suggested options were once in a while, often and always, 85% of the votes would fall only into the ‘ALWAYS’ category.
Are we being selfish by not giving back? To the society; to our family; to ourselves; to Mother Nature. Are we giving at all?

This state of selfishness is backed by the sense of ‘taking things for granted’. We assume that, if we don’t do, somebody else would do it for us; not understanding that fact that everyone has a part to play. Everyone holds a part of the jig-saw puzzle. When we don’t put in our piece, even if everybody else in the world has put in theirs, the puzzle would stay unfinished.

Giving back is a great thing to do. It means that we understand that we have taken something and also know the value what was taken.

When we say giving back to the society or Mother Nature, we have a path to pick. Start participating in CSR activities and contribute for the betterment of our society and Mother Nature.

What about giving back to our family?
How many times have we appreciated our mothers, wives, husbands, fathers, siblings?
How many of us took time to appreciate our kids for something that they did?
A pat, an instant ‘WOW’, an immediate hug are all gestures that can bring great changes in mindset. These gestures show that we understand their trouble and value their effort.

And…
Giving back to self??
Take a break from monotonous schedules…
Go on a long road trip…
Take a ‘sleep’ weekend…
Listen to music…
Pick up a hobby and pursue it…
And always love what you do; or do what you love!
