Lillian Bauer, the person described by Adam Grant in the book Give and Take, was a doormat in her life. Bauer was a giver like Geller but they had different thoughts about how to be a giver. Bauer thought if she could pay the support back as much as she could, she would get success in the end but the truth showed that she was wrong. She used all her time and energy to help her clients without gaining benefits for many years. In the end, she got nothing and she wasted much of her time. She became the doormat to the takers. From my observations, I think we should pay support forward indeed. Just like relationships between the teachers in the school and us. Teachers teach us much knowledge and how to be good people. They spend much of their time and energy leading us. We thank teacher very much, however we should not pay the knowledge back to teacher, instead we should pay them forward. We can use the knowledge to make the country better and make our lives better. If we only pay the knowledge back to teachers, we will waste our money and make the teachers
