The more you give, the more you get.

The more you laugh, the less you fret.
The more you do unselfishly,
The more you live abundantly.
The more of everything you share,

The more you'll always have to spare.
The more you love, the more you'll find
That life is good and friends are kind.
For only what we give away,
Enriches us from day to day.

My son is an avid sandboarder and he was recently asked to be a stunt-double for someone in a television advertisement.. He also keeps his hair very short, almost non-existent. I asked him whether the ad was for cosmetics or hair products and his reply was,

“Hair products, hence my dilemma. I don’t have any!!”
