JAKARTA - When giving sincerely, you not only make others happy, but also yourself. Giving here doesn't even always have to be in material form.

Patrick Stoekmann, a professional and personal coach, in one of his articles entitled Master of The Art Giving, writes, "Humanly, many people believe that if they have something more, then they will give more.

However, if you think like that, you will never feel enough let alone to give something to someone else." He also added, "Basically all human beings have gifts that can be given to others." The following are some examples.
