“Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.”

Gifts don’t have to be something you buy at a gift shop or wrap with colorful wrapping paper. Sometimes a little help, some good advice, and even sharing helpful knowledge can be a better gift than anything you can buy with money.

If sharing a resource can improve someone’s life, you should do it.
