Research has shown that when we volunteer—where we give ourselves and our time to help others—we actually end up benefiting, too. Our happiness grows. We feel more satisfied with life. We even have more energy and creativity. Basically, we have more to give.
I've noticed a pattern with my friends. Sometimes, they get into the habit of gossiping(说闲话) about others. They will constantly complain about their bosses or coworkers. It seems as if they get caught in this loop of complaining, and their frustration distracts them in other parts of their life. When this happens, they become uninterested in new events or become annoyed by their colleagues or things that happen at work.
At the same time, I've also seen other friends go out of their way to help someone on their team or to help out on a project that had very little—or even nothing—to do with their main work. Although it seems that they won't receive anything in return, my friends benefit from these interactions(互动). My friends have told me about the stronger relationships they've built at work and the fun they've had working on new and interesting projects. They've told me about how the people they helped before have returned the favour later on.
We often think that when we help someone else, we aren't doing anything for ourselves. But we actually often end up getting back just as much as we give. When we step in to help someone, we often turn out to be helping ourselves as well.
