I am not saying you should donate all your wealth to charity or take The Giving Pledge like Bill Gates or Warren Buffet. Giving just in any small way could benefit both you and people around you.
Why should you give ?
1) It makes you feel good. Your brain releases serotonin when you are being generous. It is like a reward from your brain when you are being a good boy. Do you know serotonin is a natural anti-depressant.
2) It makes your surrounding better and more cheerful. When you help someone in need, you are making them happier. Your action is indirectly making your environment for cheerful and it will elevate your mood. Do you want to study in a classroom full of stressful classmates or want with happy and cheerful classmates ? Of course the later will be most favorable for learning.
What can I give ? I am just a student
First thing you can do; lend people your ears. In other words, listen to their problems and grouses. Sometimes what people need is not some smart advice, they just meed a place where they can vent out their frustrations.
Secondly, help people understand a particular subject. You teach or share your insights on a particular topic with your friends. You might not be a good teacher, but the act of sharing will definitely improve your friendship.
That's all for this morning !!! Have to go to school and start being generous.
