Welcome to Day 1800 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom The Character of a Person – Daily Wisdom Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1800 of our Trek, and it's time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today's trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. We are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today's trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16&version=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver! If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let's jump right in with today's nugget: Today's quote is from Malcolm S. Forbes, and it is: You can easily judge the character of a person by how they treat those who can do nothing for them. The Character Of A Person Most businesses, organizations, and relationships are driven by a Quid pro quo philosophy, a Latin phrase used in English to mean an exchange of goods or services. One transfer is contingent upon the other; “a favor for a favor.” Phrases with similar meanings include: “give and take,” “tit for tat,” “you scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours,” and “one hand washes the other.” Based on this philosophy, you cannot tell a person's character. A person's true character is only seen when they are willing to serve and assist others when the receiving person can do absolutely nothing for the one giving. A person who has an honorable character is a person who doesn't expect a return favor. They know that it is impossible to receive anything in return yet are willing, able, and happy to assist another person in need. For the Christ-follower, we should possess this type of character. We need to be willing to help and show the love of Christ to all we encounter, regardless of their ability to do anything for us in return. This is the type of love God has for us, as seen through Jesus Christ. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+5%3A6-11&version=NLT (Romans 5:6-11) When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. And since we have been made right in God's sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God's condemnation. For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.

Which of these categories do you fall into: giver, taker, or matcher? I recently re-read Give and Take by psychologist and university professor, Adam Grant. The book not only provides solid evidence and examples of how givers, takers and matchers all operate in the real world. But Grant also helps us understand ourselves and think about how we can become better givers without burning out or spreading ourselves too thinly. What are Givers, Matchers, and Takers? Givers seek out ways to be helpful and give to others without any deeper agenda Matchers play “tit for tat”—they keep an eye on the social bank account and do favours for favours Takers are focussed on getting as much as they can from situations, relationships, and people If you are an introvert or highly sensitive person this is clearly going to be an issue you will think about. I have had emails from people who have lost sight of boundaries in relationships. Those who attract narcissists and energy vampires that have bled them dry and they don't know what to do. They have shut off, isolated themselves, and declared that they cannot afford to be givers any longer. According to the fascinating findings in the book Grant says that givers are the least successful people (unproductive, performed poorly in exams, made the least money etc). The takers didn't perform best either because the matchers kept them in check, essentially seeing it as their job to punish anyone who didn't give back. But matchers didn't perform best either... Givers did. Givers are the worst performers, but they're also the best performers. Grant says that being a giver can do one of two things for you…"it can sink your career, or it can accelerate it". It can make you unable to perform as well as others, to be walked all over, and to be taken advantage of…or it can be the bedrock of your success and wellbeing as a human. So how can you become a successful giver? Well that's what I explore in this week's episode of the podcast. "You can easily judge the character of a person by how he or she treats those who can do nothing for them.” - Malcolm S. Forbes. Brenda Knowles wrote an article about this subject a while back and she picked out the three things we can do if we want to be givers who are successful and happy rather than the opposite option. Spot the takers in your midst. Engage in “five-minute favours” Don't restrict your interactions to just givers Brenda says "I am a selective giver, which could be construed as a matcher, but I am not strategic about giving.” We all have to make choices. We have finite resources. The key is what drives those choices. Is it a cold and calculating sense of what you can get, or a desire to give because that's what you are compelled to do? Givers share praise. They encourage people. They say thank you and well done. They look people in the eye and smile. It doesn't cost much to extend your giver-heart. Over to You Are you a giver, taker, or matcher? Is there anything that stops you from being a giver? I'd love to hear your thoughts so please leave your response in the comments below.
