At times we realize that gaining or acquiring some ‘gain’ gives less pleasure than ‘parting away and giving it to a destitute/someone who really in need ’. It gives immense pleasure which one can only experience but it’s very hard to explain. And one good thing is that one is never at loss by sharing . It is also a hard fact of life that ‘pursuit of attaining something in excess’ leads us to no where and ultimately causes stress.
Sharing is not all about money or wealth. Generosity is only one of the aspect. It’s about kindness, helpfulness, unselfishness, sacrifice, giving, service, love etc. Few words of sympathy can cause a tremendous effect. Even sometimes one can feel that the kindest words that aren't spoken. Jesus also said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” When we do good to others, we receive great happiness.
On the other side one can think why should I give to others?, “ No one gave it to me when I needed. The answer lies in your sub-conscious mind where the thought is always there that in your life you received so much from other people—parents, friends, teachers, relatives, strangers etc. Deep in your thought you will remember that the help also came from those quarters from where you had least expected.
When we share something we somehow connect to others in many ways. It’s a God like trait.
Personally speaking we connect to ‘God’ the very moment of sharing.
‘Giving’ can make a difference to others and in turn we achieve a sense of empowerment, pride, and accomplishment.
There is a famous quote ‘ The more you give of yourself, the more you find yourself.
NOTE: MAKE SURE TO ADDRESS YOURSELF AND OTHERS PRESENT THERE. CONCLUDE YOUR SPEAK BY SAYING THE TOPIC AGAIN.
Respected Principal, Vice Principal, Teachers and my dear fellow Friends, a very warm Good Morning to one and all present here! May i introduce myself to you, I am Rohit of class XII, I am here to speak about the topic "Happiness lies in giving and sharing more than in receiving and taking"
It is through experience I have learned that " As you give , so you live ". There was a time in my life when I only wanted things. I was happy only when I received gifts. My main goal in life was to take as many things from others as I could. But , yes ! One day , while I was going to market, I saw a poor hungry beggar running along the road. He had a loaf of bread in his hand. He went to his mother and sat next to her. This touched me deeply that this boy who must have been hungry himself , found greater joy in feeding his famished mother. From that moment onwards, I realized and started giving things to others. If I had 2 pens and someone wanted one , I would give it to him / her. I asked my mother to give a old shirt to child living in slums. During my birthday, instead of having a party , I went along with my mother to an orphanage and fed a line of needy people. Giving things to others brings me great joy and happiness. Receiving something gives temporary satisfaction. But reaching out to others and seeing a smile on their face is more precious than any other thing.
I conclude my words by saying that "Happiness lies in giving and sharing more than in receiving and taking."
Thank you !
