Vegetable Seller (iya Alata) Donated Over 50 Million Naira To Charity by HighBK: 11:22am On Oct 11, 2014 |
Chen Shu-chu sells peppers, taro and mushrooms in eastern Taiwan and has known poverty much of her life. She does this for up to 18 hours a day, six days a week. But no matter how much money she makes, she spends no more than a few dollars a day on herself so that she can give away the rest. Over the past two decades, Ms Chen has donated over 10 million Taiwanese dollars ($350,000; £210,000) to the building of a school library and a hospital wing. She has also donated to a local Buddhist organisation and orphanages. The donations included money inherited from her father, royalties from a book written about her and cash prizes for her work. To some people, it might seem like madness to give away most of your wealth. But Ms Chen insists it’s not that difficult. “Everyone can do it. It’s not just me. It’s not how much money you make that matters, but how you use your money,” she says. “I don’t see money as being that important. After all, you can’t bring it with you when you start a new life and you can’t take it with you when you leave this life.” But how has a woman with such a modest profession accumulated so much money to give away in the first place?

Many lessons from the story 1. You don't need to have millions before you can help 2. Marriage is not the ultimate calling for women 3. You need money to help! (She was able to donate that much cos she gave out money she won from awards) 4. If disciplined, you can save a lot from little. Any more lessons from the story? 2 Likes 2 Shares |

a godly heart is not affiliated with any particular religion, but one who has the love of god at heart and the only way to show the love of god is to love your fellow man. 2 Likes |
