As you contribute your specific gifts and talents to the whole, so is each piece of the jigsaw puzzle of life put together forming the perfect whole. What you're your specific gifts or talents? Why not share them and cease hiding them away, for they are all needed. You may feel you have many gifts, or you may feel you have little or nothing to give. This latter is not so. You you're your own unique something to give which no one else can give, and that something is needed. It is up to you to find out what it is and give it. It takes all sorts to make up the whole. Every tiny screw, cog and spring is needed to make a clock. Every organ of the body, every tiny cell and atom is needed to make up the whole perfect body. When you can see yourself as part of the whole, you will no longer want to withhold what you have to give.
像我将自己独有的特长与天赋贡献于整体一样，正是每一片生命的拼图放置于一起，才构成了完美的整体。我独有的特长与天赋是什么呢？为什么不分享它们，不再将它们藏起来，因为它们都是被需要的。我可能会感到我拥有很多特长，或是感到我有的很少，或几乎没有什么可以给予的。后者并非如此。我拥有自己独特的可以给予的事物，没有任何其他人可以给予，而那样事物是被需要的。
这取决于我，去找出它是什么，并去将它给予。整体需要多彩多样的事物来组成。要组合出一只闹钟，每一个小小的螺丝钉、钝齿、弹簧都是被需要的。身体里的每一个器官，每一个小小的细胞和原子都是被需要的，来组成那完整的、完美的身体。当我看待自己是整体的一部分时，我将不会对我所需要给予的有所保留。
