this is what i'm learning.

“The cool part, the punchline, is that giving a gift for no reason and with no transaction contemplated is actually incredibly powerful. It changes your approach to the market, it changes your relationship with the recipient and yes, it changes you.”

From Seth Godin’s Blog. Reminds me of Proverbs 18:16,

“A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before the great.”
