Which kind are you ?

1. Takers receive and never give.
Many people focus on themselves and rarely go out of their way to do anything for others.
Such people are takers. They worry only about what they can get, and they are never
satisfied.

2. Traders receive and then give.
Some people focus on keeping score. They are willing to give, but their primary motivation
isn't to help others. They see relationships as an exchange. Often they give because they
think they owe something to someone who has helped them, and they desire to make things
"even".

3. Investors give and then receive.
In this third group, people focus on others. They give first and then receive if something is
offered in return. They believe that success comes from being helpful, caring and
constructive. They desire to make everything and everyone touch better, and they
understand that the best way to accomplish that is to give of themselves.

So, which group do you belong ?
