| - | A good cause is an effort made to do good things, or a good thing that people are working to support. An organization, a club, or a friend in need. It's something worth investing time and resources into, that you trust will be worthy and beneficial to human kind. Good causes are not always pleasant to look at, such as cancer research. They may not always be easy to understand or research, but that is why you must be diligent in investing resources in a worthy and trust worthy cause. Do you homework and make sure your efforts are not in vein. Countless people need your help, everywhere, and in many different ways. Sometimes it just takes being a good role model for society. Some people enjoy investing everything they are into what they believe in, and for some they just have to in order to stay alive. Do your part and help share with those who deserve it. We all have countless things to offer, if we realize it yet or not. Once you start helping others, your eyes will be opened to new chances and doorways.\\ | + | THIS ARTICLE IS JUST A STUB!
