May mga kilala ka bang sobrang kuripot?
‘Yung wala nang ibang inisip kung hindi ang kanilang mga sarili?
Kahit alam mong may kakayanan silang mag-share at magbigay, ito ang kanilang reaksyon kapag nilalapitan:
- “Ano ka, hilo? Kanya-kanyang kayod, noh!”
- “Ano ako, ATM?”
- “Bakit naman ako mamimigay? Pinagpaguran ko ito, ah!”
Well, believe it or not, among the many rich people that I personally know, iilan lang sa kanila ang nag-standout at naniniwala na ang tunay na mayaman ay hindi kuripot at sila ay galante – tulad ni Chuck Feeney, the owner of Duty Free.
- His total earnings is $7.8 billion.
- He decided to giveaway $6.3 billion to his foundation – to support education, science, healthcare, and civil rights advocacies.
- It left him with only $1.5 billion.
Kung titingnan natin, he donated almost everything para lang makatulong sa iba. Sabi niya: “I concluded that if you hung onto a piece of the action for yourself, you’d always be worrying about that piece.”
And so, he lets go of it for a cause.
Why are truly rich people generous?
Why do we need to develop a LIFESTYLE of GIVING and SHARING?
GIVING MAKES THEM HAPPY.
Regardless of:
- Money…
- Time…
- Talents…
- Possessions…
Hindi man lang sila nakakaramdam ng panghihinayang. Instead, they find pleasure in giving their money away. Sila ‘yung matipid sa sarili, pero all-out pagdating sa iba.
They see more joy and satisfaction dahil may natutulungan sila gamit ang perang pinag-ipunan at pinagpaguran nila.
WILLING TO WORK HARD…FOR OTHERS
Sa totoo lang, bakit ba tayo nagsusumikap? Hindi lang naman ito para sa ating sarili, pero para rin ito sa mga mahal natin sa buhay. ‘Di ba?
Ganoon din ang mga tunay na mayayaman.
“What’s mine is yours – kung successful kami, magbe-benefit ang iba.”
Finally, this is what I’ve discovered about truly rich people…
THEY TRULY KNOW THE PURPOSE OF MONEY. And that is:
TO BECOME A BLESSING TO OTHERS
Which is why, they are extra-inspired to work hard. Their reason? Naiintindihan nila na hindi lahat ay pinalad, kaya it is just right to share their blessings with others.
Besides, they know na ginagamit sila ni God as tools to become blessings to other people. Kaya, alam nila na ang kanilang purpose sa buhay ay maging pagpapala para sa ibang tao.
THINK. REFLECT. APPLY.
Kuripot ka ba sa sarili, pero galante ka sa iba?
Saan mo inilalaan ang mga bagay na itinatago mo para lang sa sarili mo?
