Good morning Respected Principal , teachers and all my dear friends, I , Hardik , am here to talk to you about "the spirit of giving".
It is through experience I have learned that " As you give , so you live ". There was a time in my life when I only wanted things. I was happy only when I received gifts. My main goal in life was to take as many things from others as I could.
But , yes ! One day , while I was going to market, I saw a poor hungry beggar running along the road. He had a loaf of bread in his hand. He went to his mother and sat next to her. This touched me deeply that this boy who must have been hungry himself , found greater joy in feeding his famished mother.
From that moment onwards, I realized and started giving things to others. If I had 2 pens and someone wanted one , I would give it to him / her. I asked my mother to give a old shirt to child living in slums.
During my birthday, instead of having a party , I went along with my mother to an orphanage and fed a line of needy people. Giving things to others brings me great joy and happiness.
Receiving something gives temporary satisfaction. But reaching out to others and seeing a smile on their face is more precious than any other thing.
Thank you !
