Episode 151: You never really know what you give to others

Despite all of our intentional action, we never really know what
we give to others. I learned this lesson in the context of my
work as a private tutor. When I would cross paths with my
students years later, they had always forgotten everything that I
was paid to teach them -- but they would remember some throwaway
comment I made one day. It took years for my students to teach me
what I taught them. And that is because it is the taker who
decides what is given.
