The Gift

Holiday season is filled with talk about gifts.

No, I am not talking about the gift that you want to receive.

I am talking about the gift that you can give.

Yes, that too at almost no cost.

Think about it..

If you can write online, you have the capacity to give a gift.

If you can talk to someone on a phone, you have the capacity to give a gift.

If you can talk to someone, you have the capacity to give a gift.

The good part is – in giving that gift, you give a gift to yourself.

I am talking about the gift of sharing what you are learning.

You are learning something almost everyday. There are hundreds of millions out there who for no fault of theirs ( for example, the place of birth can influence the fate of millions ) don’t have that privilege of either learning or getting an opportunity to share what they learn.

The gift that you have, if you noticed it is the ability to give another gift – the gift of sharing your learning.

It costs (almost) nothing and in fact, should you choose to give that gift, you instantly gave a gift to yourself. You learn and you learn more by sharing what you learn.

This holiday season why not make a commitment to start giving (and getting) that gift?
