Help others with a grace and elegance!

To do more for the world than the world does for, that is success.
Henry Ford

We live in a world where we need the help and cooperation of others. Others also need our help. We have to work with others and get what we want. We have to establish a mutually respectful and healthy relationship while dealing with people around us. 

Normally a person seeking and receiving help may feel embarrassed or hesitant and the person giving the help may feel proud that he is in position to do so. Hence, 
while helping someone, we should keep some sensitive soft issues in mind.
There has to be a charm and elegance while helping others. Check for the following aspects in you when you help someone:
-without having to be reminded too often
-helping at the right and appropriate time
-not talking about your help to others. Helping in silence!
-without making the person receiving the help feel small or obliged to you.
-willingly and spontaneously with a smile
-not talking about the help again and again
-without expecting anything in return
-giving more than what was expected
We may overlook some of these emotional issues which are very important and add elegance and grace to your help which cannot be explained but only felt – by the person receiving the help!
