Hi NDavid.
I think it's great that you want to start helping others. I definitely agree with experimenting and not worrying so much about getting it right.
To get a better understanding of the people around you, go work with them. I would find an organization that does something useful, and then just help. You could try volunteermatch.com or idealist.org. You could also hang around people who are givers and feel passionate about it. You may not feel anything the first couple of times you do it, but as you get to know the people and/or things you help, you'll come to love them..and you'll want to help even more.
Have fun with it. |
