Not many people actually practise the true art of gift giving. This probably gives the capitalists opportunities to come up with more products like mugs, t-shirts etc during festive seasons and ocassions to those people who do not use their understanding and sincerity to buy gifts. By not practising the true art of gift-giving, we are actually becoming more dumb and less humane. Over time, we will be nothing but economic units within the capitalist world.<br /><br />I know many people, including myself who would do their utmost on anything concerning work. We anticipate the requirements of the boss, do things that enhance our skills at work, listen attentively to the words of the boss, understanding the likes and dislikes of the boss,..etc. Can we truly say we practice apply the same approach at work when it comes to our loved ones, families and friends? From my personal observations, the answer is NO. There might be some degrees of efforts but it will never be comparable to the efforts put into the work environment.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this wonderful article.<br /><br />Wishing you and your loved ones &#39;A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year&#39;!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />VVanesnoreply@blogger.com
