should have more priority.<br \/>\nGive yourself away, it requires true love and trust.<br \/>\nGive back, reciprocity can be a beautiful exchange.<br \/>\nGive birth, creating a new branch on the family tree.<br \/>\nGive it a go, because nothing happens when you don\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t.<br \/>\nGive away, because receiving is often far less important.<br \/>\nGive it your all, sometimes doing anything less won\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t cut it.<br \/>\nGive room, because some ideas deserve some slack, just like people do. <span><font size=\"1\">Photo by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sxc.hu\/profile\/mmagallan\" rel=\"nofollow\">mmagallen<\/a> on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sxc.hu\/photo\/673647\" rel=\"nofollow\">stock.xchng<\/a><\/font><\/span><br \/>\nGive unconditionally, without recognition or reward, without hesitation or regret, without limitations.<br \/>\nGive cheerfully, out of joy to make things better for others, it provides a feeling of accomplishment.<br \/>\nGive a damn, it\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s worth defending your thoughts if you really mind about the issue being discussed.<br \/>\nGive up, when the challenge is too big, the ultimate measure of a man becomes a test of character.<br \/>\nGive warmth, because it matters how you make someone feel and it\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s good to light another candle.<br \/>\nGive a smile, lighting the room with the most positive expression there is, it doesn\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t cost anything.<br \/>\nGive time, it\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s a gift card that can be used for any activity in the world, but there are no refunds.<br \/>\nGive generously, making a real impact by being kind, doing more than anyone would ask of you.<br \/>\nGive wisely, you accomplish more when you have a smart approach to achieve your noble goals.<br \/>\nGive from your heart, there are few things more important when you present a gift to someone.<br \/>\nGive thanks, a small gesture that can make all the difference to someone who makes an effort.<br \/>\nGive the look, an indescribable expression, but everyone who sees it will instantly recognize it.<br \/>\nGive attention, so you invest your time without wasting it on something you don\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t care about.<br \/>\nGive a break, we all experience the need to get rid of some of the pressure people put on us.<br \/>\nGive something, it doesn\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t matter what it is, it\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s the thought that counts for those who count.<br \/>\nGive forgiveness, which is difficult to do, but it can lead to a wide array of wonderful things.<br \/>\nGive care, no one wants to have lived a life alone, we grow by forming strong relationships.<br \/>\nGive it forward, where the receiver becomes the giver by sharing the gift of helping others.<br \/>\nGive your life, there isn\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t a bigger sacrifice to show how dedicated you are to your cause.<br \/>\nGive aid, where empathy gives us feelings of compassion and where people need it most.<br \/>\nGive it some thought, we need to think things over before we can purposely act on them.<br \/>\nGive kindness, that\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s all we really want from other people, so take the initiative yourself.<br \/>\nGive them hell, when goodness encounters injustice, it becomes a force to reckon with.<br \/>\nGive the sack, even when nobody wants it to happen, some things are just inevitable.<br \/>\nGive in, when not all battles can be won, you sometimes have to accept that you failed.<br \/>\nGive a compliment, because it\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s always nice to make others feel good about themselves.<br \/>\nGive a chance, some people will amaze you when they see the possibility to impress you.<br \/>\nGive love, which is the most charitable way to enhance someone\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s life through doing good.<br \/>\nGive notice, for the time needed to adjust, it\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s the announcement that prepares for the loss.<br \/>\nGive hugs, creating a culture that reflects a positive connection with other people in our life.<br \/>\nGive presents, finding stuff only you would ever give to them, being authentic and personal.<br \/>\nGive appreciation, everyone likes to get it, so spread it abundantly and with utmost sincerity.<br \/>\nGive a piece of one\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s mind, which expresses the thoughts that were once hidden from others.<br \/>\nGive freely, considerations are often unnecessary when you do something moral instinctively.<br \/>\nGive it meaning, that\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s when real value is created, it\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s the quality that explanation focuses on.<br \/>\nGive an ear, sometimes all you need to do is listen, you don\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t have to speak a word to matter.<br \/>\nGive an opinion, every one of them might strengthen the support of the best decision possible.<br \/>\nGive up the ghost, it may seem like the end, but the extraordinary will always live on in others.<br \/>\nGive a heads up, because it\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s better to be prepared than to be caught by an unwanted surprise.<br \/>\nGive gifts, offering something without expecting anything in return, just doing someone a favor.<br \/>\nGive your heart away, the biggest and most special commitment you can make towards someone.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n[Editor&#8217;s note] As a
