《道德经》里讲：将欲取之，必先予之。

In the Tao Te Ching, it is said that if one wishes to obtain something, they must first give it to them.

我们总是想得到更多，而想要的越多，就越不满足、越感受不到幸福。

We always want more, and the more we want, the less satisfied and unhappy we feel.

巴尔扎克笔下的守财奴葛朗台，唯利是图的他一门心思想着获取，从不想付出；就连将死之际，神甫来给他做法事，他看到镀金的十字架，还跃跃欲试地想抓在手里；这份尝试直接葬送了他的命。

Grandet, the miser in Balzac's works, is solely focused on profit and never wants to give; Even as he was about to die, the priest came to do something for him. He saw the gilded cross and was eager to grab it in his hand; This attempt directly buried his life.

葛朗台的一生，获财无数，但他却一点都不幸福——女儿妻子憎恨他，邻里同行讨厌他。

Grandet's life was full of wealth, but he was not happy at all - his daughter and wife hated him, and his neighbors hated him.

可他的女儿欧也妮却乐善好施、慈爱悲悯，巴尔扎克这样描写她的人生：最后，她在这数不尽的善行义举的伴随下走向了天国。

But his daughter Eugenie was kind and compassionate. Balzac described her life as follows: In the end, she walked to heaven with countless acts of kindness and righteousness.

有句话说得特别好：施比受更有福。

There is a saying that is particularly good: Giving is more fortunate than receiving.

当你紧握双手，里面什么也没有；当你打开双手，世界就在你手中。

When you grip your hands tightly, there is nothing inside; When you open your hands, the world is in your hands.

一个人，付出了善，便会收获更多的善；付出了爱，才能得到更多的爱。

A person who gives kindness will reap more kindness; Only by giving love can we receive more love.
