How to Save a Life - The Fray

Last Sunday, while I was at the mall, there is this one song that played on the department store. I can't barely understand the lyrics, but I got addicted to its tune. I immediately saved one line of the song  and check it in the internet. And I never stop playing it since then. :)

How to Save a Life - The Fray

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life

Give more than you take

from Papemelroti

I saw this frame in one of the stores in Glorietta few days back. I was trying to look for gifts for Christmas. Felt like there is a magnet on this thing. Couldn't help but to stare at it. Aside from the very artistic look, the statement caught my attention more.

GIVE MORE THAN YOU TAKE

How do you really measure if you are giving more than what you are taking? Is there a way to know it? Or do we really need to measure it? Do you give only to get something in return?


Some say it should be a GIVE and TAKE process. 
Some say you should not expect anything.


I seek help from Merriam-Webster online. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/give

give verb \ˈgiv\
: to put into the possession of another for his or her use: to designate as a share or portion

Giving is imparting anything from your possession to someone else's. Taking one thing from yourself to pass on to others.  Whether the recipient wants it or not. 

Bottom line is, when you give, do not think of what you can get in return. Give because you want to. Because you are happy to share something. Never compare what you get or will get. Just give what your heart desires to give. It will be more fulfilling in that way. At least, if you will not be able to receive anything, it wouldn't hurt you. 

"It's important to give it all you have while you have the chance.”
