Learn to give is Very important in one's life.

You have to give it all away
There is a legend of a man who was lost in the desert, dying of thirst.
He stumbled on until he
came to an abandoned house. Outside the dilapidated, windowless,
weather beaten, deserted
shack was a pump. He stumbled forward and began pumping furiously, but
no water came from
the well. Then he noticed a small jug with a cork at the top and a note
written on the side: "You
have to prime the pump with water, my friend. P.S. And fill the jug
again before you leave." He
pulled out a cork and saw that the jug was full of water.
Should he pour it down the pump? What if it didn't work? All of the
water would be gone. If he
drank the water from the jug, he could be sure he would not die of
thirst. But to pour it down the rusty pump on
the flimsy instruction written on the outside of the jug?
Something from inside told him to follow the advice and choose the
risky decision. He proceeded to pour the
whole jug of water down the rusty old pump and furiously pumped up and
down. Sure enough, the water gushed
out! He had all he needed to drink. He filled the jug again, corked it
and added his own words beneath the
instructions on the jug: "Believe me, it really works. You have to give
it all away before you can get anything
back."
