How to use "Generally" in context?
Generally speaking, people tend to be more generous than selfish. They want to help others, even if it's not in their own self-interest. But this doesn't always work out perfectly. Sometimes people are too generous and end up getting nothing in return. Other times, they're not generous enough and others take advantage of them. It can be tough to know when to be generous and when to keep your guard up. But there are ways to learn how to be moregenerous. Here are a few tips.
First, be aware of your own tendencies.
