The more you give the more you get back

Today at our local REA meeting our host was talking about his new book and how he couldn't have written it without the help of so many other people. 

He had started our REA several years ago - giving his knowledge out to anyone who proved they were serious enough to put it into practice.  Over the years the members started sharing their knowledge with him and collaborating.   During the evening he highlighted how these other people helped him in areas where he was inexperienced or lacking in knowledge and ultimately helped him write his newest book.

An example I always like to look at is Jimmy Kimmel.  That man is extremely generous with not only his wealth but his time.  Even when he was doing morning radio barely making enough to pay for his crappy apartment at the time - people close to him would describe him as exceedingly giving.

It's something we all know but sometimes forget - that the more we give the more we get back. Not only that, but it simply feels darn good to help others!
