Give and Take

Be a giver. What I try to do:

1. Help friends solve problems.
2. Share information that is useful to them.
3. Connect people in my network who could benefit from knowing each other.

Keep in mind:

1. Focus on quick, high-impact help.
2. Selective giving: limit help to people who consistently only take without giving back.

Never be a taker. When I need help from others:

1. I build relationships, trust, and genuine friendships first, rather than reaching out only when I need something.
2. When someone helps me, I make an effort to reciprocate by offering help in return or giving gifts.
