Volunteering to assist people in whatever way one can does not only make a difference on another individual's life. Instead, it also provides health benefits to the one who extends help. Studies reveal that those people who do volunteer work live longer than those who do not volunteer, considering the personal gratification one gets out of helping others. When an individual takes the selfishness out of one's life and trades it with selflessness, it increases the giver's sense of self-worth and gives a feel-good vibes for the giver. Helping people is very important in this society. Therefore, what is ...
