Volunteerism="other oriented"

Just the other day I received an interesting Facebook e-mail from my friend Jim on the left coast. Jim is career volunteer. Oh, I don't mean that is all the Jim does. Like the rest of us Jim has a regular job and does the household chores as well. But Jim always to find a way to volunteer for something. Jim volunteers for those projects that help people. Whether it's working in a community garden helping inner city kids with art projects, Jim is there. His Facebook page is continuously recruiting volunteers. In fact Jim was honored by the city of San Diego for his efforts. Although Jim and I are political opposites we agree on the value of helping others. Actually, I believe you can't recognize your full potential as a person unless you help others. Orient yourself to the needs of other people. Become other oriented!
