In this article, I am going to show you ways to attain permanent peace and happiness by following some simple habits. Let me start with one of my favorite stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long ago, there was a beggar named Ramu. He was living in a village called Mayapur. It was a beautiful morning. As per his daily routine, he was begging on village roads. Suddenly, Ramu was stuck seeing a tall, bright man. The man was traveling in a gold chariot. Ramu was lost in a dream seeing the man\u2019s bright, fascinating look and dresses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He asked himself, &#8220;who is this king&#8221;? He hoped that from the chariot, the king will throw gold and diamonds. All of those he will grab alone. He thought he would not have to beg anymore. The chariot stopped in front of Ramu. The bright person came down with a smiley face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He asked Ramu, \u201cPlease give me something\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ramu wondered, \u201cHas the king become mad? Someone who has everything is asking from me, from a beggar?\u201d He was standing foolishly, and could not understand what to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bright man asked again, \u201cPlease give me something\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ramu gave a small piece of rice from his old cotton bag. The bright man thanked and left in his chariot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the evening, after finishing his begging, Ramu returned home. Like every other day, he was keeping the rice he had collected. He was stuck seeing a small piece of gold in the rice. The poor man didn\u2019t take time to understand that in the morning what he had given to the king; got it back as gold. Ramu started crying and rueing \u201cWhy didn\u2019t I give my everything?\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anything we give comes back to us in some form. In our daily life, we stay like a beggar. We always expect from other people. The whole day we are begging for appreciation, respect, trust, and understanding from others. When we meet someone, we think a hundred times before giving a smile. We wait for the other person to smile first and then we smile back. In our close relationships, we always expect to get but are not ready to give anything. But those people who are really kind-hearted and ready to give everything to others to change society and the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_79_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\"><p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<\/div><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/mutesoft.com\/spaces\/express\/give-to-grow.html\/#Bill_Gates\" >Bill Gates<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/mutesoft.com\/spaces\/express\/give-to-grow.html\/#Malala\" >Malala<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/mutesoft.com\/spaces\/express\/give-to-grow.html\/#My_story\" >My story<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/mutesoft.com\/spaces\/express\/give-to-grow.html\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bill-gates\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bill_Gates\"><\/span>Bill Gates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My grandsons might struggle to remember my name, but they would definitely remember the name of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bill_Gates\" target=\"_blank\">Bill Gates<\/a>.

As per TNW&#8217;s recent news, Bill Gates committed $750M to help Oxford vaccinate the world against COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/openapex.org\/spaces\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/bill-gates.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"615\" height=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/openapex.org\/spaces\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/bill-gates.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mutesoft.com\/spaces\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/bill-gates.jpg 615w, https:\/\/mutesoft.com\/spaces\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/bill-gates-300x215.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bill Gates Windows Personal Computer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Though Bill Gates has been donating a huge amount of money, his wealth is not reducing at all. He is receiving blessings from millions of beneficiaries across the world and still keeping the position of one of the richest persons in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"malala\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Malala\"><\/span>Malala<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a girl, I feel very proud when I read, listen to, and tell the story of my favorite hero, Malala Yousafzai. We all know that she started writing about girls\u2019 education when she was just 12 years. Through her speeches in public places, she asked girls to go to school and get an education. She was getting an education, but others were not. Malala raised her voice for the other girls. The furious Taliban shot her. She was unconscious for 10 days at the hospital. After recovering, she did not stop. The brave girl continued writing, giving interviews in print and on television. She asked nothing for herself. She fought for others. In 2014, at the age of 17, she received the Nobel prize for peace as the youngest person in history. If we do good for others, definitely good will happen to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/openapex.org\/spaces\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/malala.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/openapex.org\/spaces\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/malala-700x523.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-292\" width=\"700\" height=\"523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mutesoft.com\/spaces\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/malala-700x523.jpg 700w, https:\/\/mutesoft.com\/spaces\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/malala-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mutesoft.com\/spaces\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/malala-768x574.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mutesoft.com\/spaces\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/malala.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Malala Giving Nobel Receiving Speech<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"my-story\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_story\"><\/span>My story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The above two outstanding personalities always inspire me to think about the problems of others. At the beginning of the lockdown, one fine morning, two garbage collector ladies came to our doorstep without wearing face masks. I asked why they didn&#8217;t wear face masks. One of them replied, &#8220;it is not available in the shop&#8221;. On the same day, I made two cloth masks for them. The next day, when I gave them the masks, they became happy. They told me \u201cthank you, Didi\u201d. Immediately, a formal relationship converted to a heart relationship. Gradually I made face masks for all of them. I am grateful to them that they gave me the opportunity to do something good for them. Nowadays, when a new garbage collector lady comes, they tell her \u201csee this Didi made masks for all of us. If you need, she will make them for you too\u201d. This sentence is a big prize for me. I feel the real peace and happiness, which we all are searching for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/openapex.org\/spaces\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/Mask.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/openapex.org\/spaces\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/Mask.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-281\" width=\"960\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mutesoft.com\/spaces\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/Mask.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/mutesoft.com\/spaces\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/Mask-300x152.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mutesoft.com\/spaces\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/Mask-700x354.jpg 700w, https:\/\/mutesoft.com\/spaces\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/Mask-768x388.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mutesoft.com\/spaces\/express\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/Mask-1536x777.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hand Stitched Cloth Masks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the middle of the lockdown, we needed regular medicine for my in-laws. We ordered online in Medplus as usual. In that situation, they denied giving home delivery. We had a fear of going out to the Medplus store to collect the medicine. We were searching for delivery guys and were worried as the medicine supply was about to finish. A few days later we got a contact number from the internet who was giving volunteer service. We asked for help. The next day, they delivered our medicines. Though we offered, he did not take any money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a beautiful proverb &#8220;If you help others to solve their problems, no need to worry about your problem. There will be someone to solve your problem&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I used to always think I don\u2019t have billions like Bill Gates. I can\u2019t help others. Like me, for people who have these thoughts, I would like to tell them, it\u2019s very important to have a rich heart to help others, there is no need to be a rich person. Decide today to help others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone we meet is fighting a battle that we know nothing about. Do not hide the treasures in your heart for fear that people will steal them. Instead, share and find them multiply. Giving with no expectation is one way to permanent peace and happiness which we are looking for. Be kind and helpful. Let\u2019s invest the energy of empathy and love in the people around us. We will get the same back when we need it the most. It&#8217;s extremely important because we can&#8217;t hug our bank balance or property, we need our loved ones. Keep sharing and be happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How many of you believe that what we know does not matter, but what we do matters the most?
