Life is a book full of mysteries and you cannot figure out all of it on your own. It’s the smallest things that helps us to learn in life, if carefully observed with the eye of an eagle its possible to notice. Though simple tools that guides and benefits us are hard to find, they do exist. One such small tool is "helping". When someone approaches us for help, its always wise to consider the pros and cons of helping them. But, the most extraordinary things happen only when we never think before, doing good to others.
Except for things like
1) Allowing the strangers to use your credit card.(never done this)
2) Giving away your last hundred to a beggar, when other beggars are watching. (Do this if you want to become a star for a moment :))
Though there is humor to helping people in India and sometimes hardship, we can not always get the best out of it. It’s more like paying to some schools, thinking that we are actually going to learn something useful other than the process of memorizing.
Anyways, It took a while for me to realize that in any case, helping is never a one way process and whatever you do will come back to you. They are very small that some time we don’t even notice them. It may be as simple as looking for a job for your friend and finding a better alternative for yourself, in the process or on the process of giving the beggar some change we discover that we don’t have enough cash for purchase or trying to book tickets for a friend and understanding the process comes in handy when you need them. But, even the smallest benefit disappears when we help with expectations. The benefit do not show at the same time or moment, careful observance is needed to know the change within and around. .
