Share is partner ship. And combined enjoy. But here sharing means help with happy.

When a tree drops its fruits, it is sharing it with you. The children under the tree are collecting the fruits to share it with each other.

The art of sharing is a noble act, which blesses both the giver and the receiver.

Think of a river. The water from the river is constantly flowing to be shared with others. This water helps farmers to irrigate their land. The land becomes fertile and gives good crops. These crops make a nation rich. The electricity we use comes from the water of the rivers too.

To share is not a difficult thing.

There are innumerable ways in which you can share and give to others.

You could probably gives away some of your clothes and books, which are just lying in your cupboard and collecting dust. Some other little child could find use for them

Throwing coins to a beggar cannot really help him in the long run. Organize yourself for charity. If you have some money to give, send it to a charitable institution, where it can go towards helping a needy child.

Apart from money and material possessions, what else can you share? Have you thought of sharing your time and your talents?  

Time spent on helping others, is time never lost. Teach a little child to read. Help your sick friends to make up the lessons that they have missed. Share a little time with your parents. These are just few suggestions. You can think of many more.

Swami Vivekananda has said, “the hand that goes out to help a person in need is greater than the two hands joined in prayer.’’

Share because you want to share, not because you want something in return. Sharing is an unselfish act.

In an earlier chapter we talked of a person’s character. Sharing helps to build a good character, because it makes you compassionate and thoughtful.
