“I believe in one thing - that only a life lived for others is a life worth living” 

Albert Einstein 

I am not a philosopher, nor Mother Teresa or some saint person.But I believe that making other people happy is so much greater rather than always thinking about yourself and trying to make yourself happy.

People are always in search of an answer to a question: What is the purpose of life?

I think making even the slightest difference in somebody else’s life brings huge value into your own. Endless travels, fancy clothes, different languages that you are able to speak, your great talent in something or a huge amount of money that you were able to make during your life will never add any value to it if it won’t be shared, put to a good use or for a betterment of others.

I know, many people won’t agree with me and try to proof the point that you have one life and you have to live it first of all for yourself, but I somehow insist on one thing - between choosing to think only about myself or also caring about other people I will always choose the latter.Not because it makes me better in other people’s eyes, but because it’s an instinct that every normal human being should have in order to have a balance in our society.

I honestly can’t stand selfish people who only think about themselves, doesn’t matter if they are poor or rich, if they were brought up in a bad or a good family. I know many people my age, older and a bit younger than me who still take money from their parents, or just don’t share anything with them which is same bad actually.They can sit and talk endlessly about how hard they work in order to be able to travel, to buy a new phone, to pay for their courses and so on, this kind of talk doesn’t really impact me in any way or impress me.What catches my attention and gets my respect of the person works very hard because his mom needs money, or his sister or brother needs to get education or food or warm clothes. 

Family is the first step...

Family is the first thing you can invest your love, your care and everything else in. It won’t make sense if you help other people and don’t really care about your own family who is in need. 

My parents and my siblings mean the world to me. I can’t be fully happy knowing that my family is not happy.

 I seriously don’t understand and most definitely don’t have any respect for people who don’t love their parents and siblings.Once they leave the house at 18 years old they think that all they have to take care about is themselves. 

Add some value..

My mother used to tell me all the time throughout my childhood one thing, it was sometimes when she was covering me with a blanket, which I was too lazy to go and get myself: “You should first learn to take care of yourself, because if you can’t take care of yourself then you will never be able to take care of others.” 

Taking care of yourself is essential thing that you do in your life, it’s basic, you have to do this, no one will do it for you. Don’t assume getting a “golden medal” or a standing ovation for finishing high school or getting a full scholarship in the university, it’s the least you can do for your parents - study hard, be independent and not ask for their financial support, especially if they are not able to provide one.

Making a difference..

If you want to add some value to your life, you don’t necessarily have to become a priest, be a volunteer non-stop, quit your job, forget about your own dreams and needs.No, it doesn’t mean that. What it means is that you should be happy and never forget about making sure that people around you, in particular first important thing - your family is happy too.

By doing good for other people without expecting anything in return, you automatically make your life meaningful.

Not all of us are meant to be Nobel Prize winners, brilliant surgeons, inventors of something, house builders, teachers or heroes, but what we all are capable of doing without any doubt is helping those in need and giving value to other people. 

Start adding value to your life from your own family and then maybe make other people happy as well.
