Comment: While often attributed to Winston Churchill, the quote "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give" lacks definitive evidence linking it to him. Regardless of its origin, the sentiment emphasizes that true fulfillment comes from our contributions to others, not merely from personal gain. This perspective aligns with the principles of Conversational Leadership, which values open dialogue and the sharing of ideas to foster collective growth and understanding.We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
