** How many thoughts for the weekend ???? **
? ** ARE YOU A GIVER OR A TAKER **
I have recently come to think that it is precisely in more difficult, challenging times, that things do not quite go the way I want, that what helps me cope is giving.
But it was not always like that .. In the past I thought that only rich people can give, and referring to money, food, products, etc.… And since I was not rich - so I have nothing to give, or is it not good enough ????
But today, I understand that it is completely different from what I thought… Giving is something that comes from within, and has nothing to do with the depth of the pocket.
We can let someone enter in front of us in line, we can share our knowledge with others, give good advice, listen, share the food we have, call an elderly neighbor and ask how he is, help a new employee and share with him the knowledge we acquired and more and more .. Well, did you understand the point? ???
I have seen this phenomenon of ** GIVER ** and ** TAKER ** a lot in workplaces, and also in various forums on Facebook.
There are types who "take" everything that happens in their way even if you do not really need it .. For example, in forums there is an opportunity to raise questions, ask for help and also share knowledge. There are posts called “** Gift Gifts **” when the group is celebrating a particular event or during holidays, and anyone can offer a gift and also ask for a gift.
The ** TAKERS ** will usually ask for a lot of gifts, but will they also donate from their knowledge, their handiwork or something else they have to offer?
(Also give an answer to the question, or pardon this response ** Giving ** .. Think about it ????)
In organizations, for example, when there is a holiday gift - they are the first to stand in line (God forbid it will not end), when there is a birthday party for someone - they will always be the first at the party, and taste all the cakes and desserts, when handing out a gift at conferences. Need, and all sorts of such examples. But when they are asked to volunteer for something, then they will never have time for it, when they are asked to give guidance or an explanation of something professional they will dodge, when another employee asks them for a small favor they will be too busy .. Do you know such people?
On the other hand, there are types who just give and give… until they have nothing left to give, and they remain tired, frustrated, drained, which is also not a good situation. ????????
This happens in many areas of life, for example - in relationships, in business, in working with internal and external interfaces - suppliers, colleagues, partners, sales and even in the circle of friends, and family.
Also in real estate - think about how each action serves you.
If you want to strengthen relationships, gain more knowledge, learn from others - what action will achieve your goal? ????
Have you ever stopped to think about it?
Especially in this time we live in now, am I the type who gives of myself or thinks what I get out of it and how I achieve more and more?
Or both? Both giving and receiving?
So why are you connecting more ?????

Great post! There is one here in the group (I will not name it) who just pumps up his own courses and shows how much he is "knowledgeable / professional" and when you ask a question he answers the question or without giving an answer and you ask again he offers you the course. As if what hurts you is to answer a specific answer and give someone else value even without selling him an entire course he does not need. Give it get! Most fun to be on the giving side !! I wish people would understand that
You are all full of giving, creative and talented, thank you for the post, that we are all so busy every day doing and zooming in and studying from home, it is important to remember that there is a transition.
Thanks for sharing, I loved ❤️
As someone who was 'balanced' and lived 20 years with a real man, I learned to give more !! And it's lovely
And I feel after your words that should not even expand.
But also knowing how to take is something that needs to be learned. Sometimes pride prevents us from accepting. In a completely different context for me - with the birth of the twins - I needed a lot of help and I took help from everyone who offered!! I had to work on myself to allow people to cook and wash... but I realized that it was the right thing for me.
Of course this is not about chasing free gifts but about you having to open yourself up and allow the other to give you !!!
Great article! Do you really give a lot of food for thought ????
Balance is the thing in every area of life… win win. No about you and the giving in you ????
It's all a matter of balances, help it fills you up and you have to make sure it is there, once it crosses the fine line it becomes a burden for you and you are drained.
It is important to keep to yourself because only you know your limits and there are people I call emptied also in the world close to me as a therapist there are such and need to keep boundaries and know to put lines that you will not be hurt, help should not be at any cost.
Post is very important.
Keren, wonderful post!
I also think takers will not get the same value even though they seem to take more.
After all, there is a difference between what you get and what you take.
You wrote great!
Did you write in a very beautiful way ????????????
Dear Karen... Giving is indeed a lovely quality and usually a child does not have it, but it is definitely also an acquired/learned quality that brings with it great satisfaction... and what a great pleasure we got to know you as a lovely couple who have a lot of knowledge and professionalism and share it at every opportunity with everyone both you and Liran Your husband who never stops answering/helping/supporting/supporting everyone...and yes...don't worry the wheel is always turning and there will be other and more beautiful times..love you very much...????m&m
