                                                        The Quiet Strength of Giving

Someone once asked me, “Why do you always share your notes, your time, your help — even when no one asks?”

I almost replied with a thesis (as any good student is tempted to do), but instead, I offered a quote that felt more fitting than any long explanation:

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
— Winston Churchill

And that, really, says it all.

Giving is not about grand gestures.

We often associate "giving" with donations, charities, or acts reserved for the ultra-generous. But true giving — the kind that shapes lives quietly — is often small, almost invisible:

  • Sharing notes before an exam

  • Offering your time to listen when someone’s having a rough day

  • Explaining a concept without expecting anything in return

  • Sending a message just to say, “I thought of you.”

None of these will make headlines. But they make something better: connections.

Giving isn’t loss — it’s investment.

People sometimes worry that giving too much will drain them. That they'll be left behind while others race ahead. But here’s a quiet truth I’ve learned:
What you give multiplies. Not always in obvious ways — but in trust, in goodwill, in silent respect.

And more than anything, in how you feel about yourself when the day ends.

Giving is underrated — because it's not loud.

We live in a world where doing things “for show” has become a sport. But giving? Real giving? It's not flashy. It doesn’t trend.
It just works — silently, sincerely, and over time.


So why do I give?

Because it makes me feel connected.
Because someone once helped me, and I haven’t forgotten.
Because giving doesn’t diminish us — it defines us.

And because, at the end of the day, the most meaningful things we build are built with others — one shared moment, one shared effort at a time.
