Lift Up Other with 5%

You have make money work for you; you have enjoyed the things money can bring to you; you have upgraded yourself; now, you should also help others to do so.

I suggest that for every month you use 5% of your salary to give out to charity.

Why give to charity? As the old saying goes, “What you give would come back”. You pass out hatred to people, you probably get back hatred; you laugh people when they upgrade themselves, you probably would be laughed at on other things. Ever experience such things? Yes, I did, how bout you? So, if bad things come back, good things would too. Today you help people, tomorrow people would help you.

5% can’t help? Then you are wrong. 50 cents could fill a beggar’s stomach for half a day; RM 50 can fill up the stomach of a family in the lower income group; RM 100 can do much more. The truth is, how much you give is not important, the important is your willingness to give.

Give to who? If RM 1 is what you are willing to give then just give it to the beggar. But if you are thinking of larger sums, I suggest that you donate to established organization like WWF, Red Cross etc (type “Charity” in Google to find more). Some of you might have religious offering like churches or mosque, those are also fine. But for Chinese Malaysian, I would recommend donating to our education establishment.

Wait till you are rich? Well, you might have the idea that Bill Gates only give 80% of his wealth to charity when he’s rich or Warren Buffet gave 90% of his asset to charity when he is rich. But you are wrong, both of them have been giving to charity a long time. But the more they give the more they get back, they are not the only ones. You might be the next one.
