Helping others- helping yourself

Help  is  a word  that implies  lending hand to accomplish a task or satisfy a need of another and  helping  others that is: contribute strength or means , render assistance,  cooperate effectively,  are   the  greatest quality of the  human being in all times.

It is  the  first  step  at  making  world  a better  place  and improving  the  lives and living standards  of those  who  are under-privileged.  Perhaps  it costs  nothing lending hand or rending service  but  for the  person  who  receives  it; could be everything at that particular moment.

There  are  thousands  of ways  and  numerous  styles  to  aid  people who are  in  need.  The  step towards  helping  others  should be,  finding  out the priorities, that is the dire  necessity  at the hour. There  are several  viable  ways  to  fulfill  the  purpose  of life  of serving  and  helping  others.  It  can  be defined in various  factors  such  as financial  help,  physical help,  mental  help  and  social help etc.

However  helping  is  not all  about money;  one  doesn’t  have   to  be  rich, to extend helping hand. For a person who suffers mentally and under depression has no much meaning of financial aid but a word of consolation could be more than a million dollar. For a person side-lined , totally cornered or with  feeling of discontent – resentful longing aroused by the fraction of society;  a smile  or  thoughtful  gesture could be a life-changing event. In this respect, giving time and show concern, skilled though or attention, and moral boost and adding courage to fight back is a kind of help.

We  can  also  be  helpful  from our physical strength. Sharing  your knowledge  and  resources  with  others, making  others  aware  of an  opportunity,  giving  transparent feedback to  others;  these  are  some  of the  forms  of social help. No  matter  what kind  of help  you  offer no  matter whom we help,  it  is  more  important to  notice  that another  person  is gaining  something  just because  of our help.

Again, the PEN could be a better tool when it comes to ‘help another’.
