BE GENEROUS!
By W. Clement Stone
Be generous! Give to those whom you love; give to those who love you; give to the fortunate; give to the unfortunate; yes—give especially to those to whom you don’t want to give.
Your most precious, valued possessions and your greatest powers are invisible and intangible. No one can take them. You, and you alone, can give them. You will receive abundance for your giving. The more you give—the more you will have!
Give a smile to everyone you meet (smile with your eyes)—and you’ll smile and receive smiles . . .
Give a kind word (with a kindly thought behind the word)—you will be kind and receive kind words.
Give honor, credit and applause (the victor’s wreath)—you will be honorable and receive credit and applause
Give time for a worthy cause (with eagerness)—you will be worthy and richly rewarded .
Give hope (the magic ingredient for success)—you will have hope and be made hopeful .
Give happiness (a most treasured state of mind)—you will be happy and be made happy .
Give encouragement (the incentive to action)—you will have courage and be encouraged
Give cheer (the verbal sunshine)—you’ll be cheerful and cheered
Give a pleasant response (the neutralizer of irritants)—you will be pleasant and receive pleasant responses
Give good thoughts (nature’s character builder)—you will be good and the world will have good thoughts for you
Give prayers (the instrument of miracles) for the godless and the godly—you will be reverent and receive blessings, more than you deserve!
