Civil rights leader Mahatma Gandhi wrote, "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." Do you agree or disagree with Gandhi’s statement about the importance of helping others as a way of discovering more about yourself? Take a position on this issue. Support your response with reasons and specific examples.

I agree that by giving ourselves to service of others, we find ourselves. In life, gift and talents are giving to human in order to be able to help others. As a movie produced by someone can make one laugh so can a music heals. If most of this artists or producers would have kept these talents to themselves I believe they would not have felt that they are making impact. One of the most basic drive of every human is the desire to make impact. How then do we make impact if we don't give ourselves to the service of others. One of the most popular motivational speakers, Anthony Robbins, he said one of the most important factor for success is the showing of gratitude. Showing of gratitude in a way is giving back to the society. In giving back to the society, the person is servicing others. Most successful people in our society have stated in their books and interviews that they derive pleasure in helping other. So helping people is a way of helping yourself. One popular adage says 'fragrance always stays on the hand that gives a rose'. In conclusion, one of the greatest example of such is Jesus, in the christian faith. This man never cared about a house, his car, or even his savings. All he ever cared about is solving peoples problems and caring for the needy, and by so doing he has never being forgotten for over 2000 years. If you have a gift or talent or potential and you use it in the service of others, one way or another you are discovering yourself. Because that's when you get to learn the ups and downs of life, and the beauty in sharing
