| To Give is to Get: How a Disabled Person Can Turn His Life Around and Support Other People |
 PRINTABLE VERSION |
GN: Do you want to say anything to young people…your, say, younger brothers and sisters?
TVT: My last words to the youth are that they should join more social activities. Some may think that volunteer work brings them nothing but hardship and troubles. Some may doubt if their time spent on other activities would be more worthwhile. I don’t want to give any personal comment on that matter. But from my own experience, doing volunteer work will help you become more socially aware, and more skilled in practical regards like doing interviews, or writing a project. It also helps you build up strong relationships which you will never gain easily if you restrict yourself to the four walls of your house or university. To give is to get. I have lost my right arm and could have risked wasting the rest of my life. But I have given a lot, and in doing that, received so many blessed returns.
GN: Thank you.

I still don't know this young man much, but my first impression on him was a bright smile that can light up others. Best wishes to him on the way ahead.
