“You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. Kahlil Gibran. I think it means that if you give yourself you are giving happiness to someone in need but you also are giving help when you give yourself. When you give a gift you give a little but someone would rather have a friend than a present.  I could apply it in my own life by helping out at charity events or helping people in need. Helping could make a positive change in someone’s attitude because helping out you could feed them or help give shelter and they would be happier. This could impact the world by people could be happier or there could be more things done for the needy. People could also become happier.
