Do Something for Others Who Cannot Repay
You in Cash or Kind
Dr. Karl Menninger, a world-renowned psychiatrist, was once asked, "What would you
advise someone if you knew that person was going to have a nervous breakdown?" The
audience expected Dr. Menninger to advise consulting a professional. But he didn't. He
said, "I would advise that person to lock home, go to the other side of town, find someone
in need and help that person. By doing that we get out of our own way." A lot of times we
get in our own way, don't we?
Be a volunteer. It builds self-worth. Helping others as you would expect others to help
you gives a feeling of gratification. It is a good feeling which represents high self-esteem.
The process of giving without having expectations or getting anything in return raises
one's self esteem.
A healthy personality has the need not only to get but also to give.
