Let me state
a great secret to become richer: start giving a portion of what you earn or
what you posses. What goes out comes back. Selfless giving ensures manifold
return. All the rich people of this
planet are inclined to help others. And
that could be one of the reasons why they become richer. They get back what was
given out, in true charity, hundredfold.
Giving is a sure way to receive more.
Blessed are
those who can give without remembering. That could be why our present world is
getting filled with those who want to give without any string attached. They
are quick to part with a part of what they have earned as they know giving has
a superior value when one does so quickly and not waiting for to be asked. The
best way you can evaluate a person is by how much he gives and by how much he
feels for others in his wallet. Giving is always a thermometer of one’s love
towards others. When it comes to giving some people stop at nothing. ‘Give all
you can,’ is an excellent formula for a successful life. living for
others is the best way to live. That
could be why Henry Drummond
once said, ‘there is true happiness only
in giving.’ Before we conclude let me remind you Arthur
Schweitzer’s words: “ There is no higher religion than human
service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed.”
Warren
Buffet has so far given in excess of $30.7 billion to healthcare, to alleviate
extreme poverty, for education and for access to information technology. Bill
gates through Bill and Melinda Gates foundation has doled out close to 34
billion so far mainly to the development of education and AIDS prevention.
Azim Premji from India has donated in excess of $2 billion for education and
healthcare. Every rich man is known for a charitable frame of mind (that could be one of the reasons for their
immense wealth--what goes out comes back many fold it seems.
All
of us may not have the wealth, the time to do charity in a massive scale. Let
us follow the advice of
Mother
Teresa: “If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.”
