Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you. -- Madeline Bridges
Sometimes we feel lazy or bored, and then we don't do our best work. Perhaps we are daydreaming instead of listening closely to what a friend is trying to tell us. When we are not really paying attention to our activities or the people around us, we'll likely miss out on something important because we do receive in equal measure what we give. And this truth works in every aspect of our lives.
When we treat our friends, our families, even people we don't know well with kindness, we'll experience kindness in return. Our own actions and attitudes toward others are what we can expect from others as well.

I'm sorry to say that this has not been my experience, and that it has been partly why I have identified with Janis Joplin's Kosmic Blues. I'm glad if it is some people's experience, that they have always been appreciated, and that people have returned generously as they receive.
I more relate to that one that says 'do it anyway'. "Give the world the best you have and you will get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway." by Kent Keith
I guess each person has a different experience.
