Creative Writer Meets The World

When was the last time you were humble? When was the last time you let another take credit? When was the last time you didn’t care about the glory? When was the last time you decided that you didn’t want the credit? To just give because you wanted to, And not to show off? To give of yourself, And not just because it is part of your beliefs? To donate your time to others, Just because you wanted to help another?
