Give & Take in Life
The idea that life is take, take, take (learn, learn, learn) needs to be balanced with the idea that life is also giving (teaching). Receiving and giving (learning and teaching) are two parts of a single flow, like breathing in (receiving) and breathing out (giving). One cannot take place without the other.
—Peter McWilliams
Life is something like a trumpet.
If you don't put anything in,
you won't get anything out.
—W. C. Handy
