Help others! There is nothing more rewarding than giving of yourself to help someone else. The dividends that come from helping others are too numerous and intangible to list.

The definition of help is to provide the means for what is needed or sought; to assist or give support; and to be of use or service to others. When you help someone, you grow as an individual, and when you grow as an individual everything connected to you grows as well.

A great example is in your own business; you help clients to get sprinkler systems that help them care for their lawn, plants and property. You help employees (through training) to become better technicians; in return they help your company and themselves. The Irrigation Association of New York needs your help to make our industry better for us all. A strong and healthy industry will help us to have strong and healthy companies.
