The Spirit of Giving

Good morning, respected Principal, teachers and my dear friends. I, Ms. Srnriti Patel, am here to talk to you about ‘the spirit of giving’. All religions across the globe emphasise the importance of charity for self-cleansing and leading a quality life. God gives, parents give, nature gives, and they do it selflessly. History quotes one of the great Presidents of the USA as saying, “Ask not what your country can do for you, and rather ask what you can do for your country.”

However, our selfishness prevents us from sharing and giving. We accumulate and hoard for a tomorrow which may never come. We spoil the present for others, depriving them of a better today. In doing so, the quality of life is lost, and all we’re left with is a rat race that leads nowhere.

So, let’s mend our ways. Let’s give. For in giving, there is care, happiness and satisfaction. Let’s take an oath today to heal this selfish world by changing our way of thinking from ‘Receiving and Taking’ to ‘Giving and Sharing’. Thank you.
