Sharing and Giving

What You'll Learn

🧠 Sharing money with others (donating, helping) makes the world better AND makes YOU feel good. Many wealthy people give away large portions of their fortune. Here's how to do it: 1. Look carefully at the problem. What do you see? 2. Think about what you already know. Does this remind you of something? 3. Try an answer! It's totally okay to be wrong — that's how we learn. 4. Check: did it work? If not, try something else! You're building your thinking muscles. The more you practice, the stronger they get!
