Giving and receiving make us a happier life. Yet, why do we have such difficulty getting 1. in our life?
For example, my husband and I have family members 2. only visit us when they need our help, but we rarely receive a "thank you". Most people would say that we are being used. But when we give, we shouldn't be giving for 3. . Rather, we should give because it's the good thing to do. Everything that we have is a gift 4. the world. In return, the world asks us to use these gifts to 5. others. The good news is that when we live our lives being nice to others, our lives run more smoothly.
At the same time, we should remember to receive gratefully. I truly believe that you cannot say "thank you" 6.. Sometimes children are lazy to say "thank you" to their parents and 7. forget to say "thank you" to their teachers. We know they are willing to give, but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't thank them 8. it. Words of appreciation (感谢) make others feel good. It's 9. for us to say "thank you" because we need to remind ourselves of how lucky we are. And hearing those two words can make us feel great for days. 10. you are looking for a secret to improve your life, I can give you the answer: Give generously (慷慨地) and receive gratefully.
