I was reading "The Four Main Causes of Negative Emotions - Excerpt 3" by Robert Kiyosaki

Most people do not care about you or your problems.

Most people thing more about what's their next meal or what they are doing on the weekend then about you

If you tell 10 people about your problems - 7 will not care and the other 3 will be glad you have a problem!

The Solution is:
If you feel any kind of lack in your life - Give what you want.
e.g.

• give a smile to receive a smile
• give recognition to others to receive it
• give money away, donations to charity - if you want to receive money
• hug people to receive more hugs
• Give Love to receive love
• or on the other side - throw a punch to receive one!
  

all of these make sense to me, I have herd it before.
However, I was just thinking about this as many authors/speakers have also give this advice - to give where you feel lack. But, I wonder if - "Give your time to others to receive more time" - if that is also true?

Hmm.... this is something to think about...
