The BOOMERANG Principle


People in life fall into 3 categories with regards on how they view relationships.

TAKERS- takers receive and never give. They have a me-first mentality. They try to extract as much as they can from the relationships in their lives and rarely, if ever consider giving back.

TRADERS- traders receive then give. They picture relationships as an equation in need of balance. If someone helps them, they feel a debt of gratitude. If they aid another person, they expect a favor in return.

INVESTORS- investors give and then receive. They are the kind of people who gives purely for the joy of giving. They add value to others, not as a part of a cold calculation but as a habit.

Be aware, although their giving may not earn them an instant return, in the long run, they reap the gratitude and goodwill of those that have helped.
