Since I remember I was exerting myself for others ... Then I started to help people around me who needed my help ... Selflessly and with pleasure … More than I gave ... more I receive and grow … I can still remember my father's words: With closed palm, you can not give away anything and either you can not receive anything … But if you have a palm open you can do both: receive and give away. And the same is with heart. With my voluntary work I can grow and get richer inside, because I know if I am offering my help to others, one day I will be rewarded … with a sincere smile if not otherwise …
