Helping is an important part of life. Some people help themselves, and some people help others. When we help ourselves, we do things to make our own lives better. For example, we study to learn new things or exercise to stay healthy. When we help others, we do something kind for them. For example, we help a friend with homework or carry bags for an older person.
Some people only help themselves. They focus on their own needs and goals. They work hard to be successful and independent. This is good, but helping others is also important. When we help others, we make the world a better place. Even small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
It is important to find a balance. We should take care of ourselves, but we should also think about others. A good person helps both themselves and the people around them.
