We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.

The money that we earn and the things that we buy make us our living. What we give to others and use to better the world gives us life. A living is something we do to create the life that we want. Neither would be completely available without the other. We should not only be takers but also givers as well. When you do selfless service, you are a happy man and in turn, it will lead you to do more things that are useful to you and others.
