Yes, because you don’t do it for them, you do it for you.
For
example, when I give money to charity, I do it for very selfish
reasons. Every time I put money in a collection jar, I say to myself
“Look
how rich I am that I can afford to give this much money away and not
miss it”
I’m
looking forward to my first £1 million donation - anonymously, of
course, because I don’t want my time wasted by hundreds of gold
diggers looking to stiff me for their “good cause”
If
I do good, it’s because I believe in the cause not because I’m
looking for appreciation. It’s like Bill Gates. He doesn’t spend
large sums of money on the elimination of malaria because he gives a
rat’s arse about malaria. He does it because, at one time, he was
the most hated person on the planet and he thought he could buy our
affection with the money he got illegally by offering a spate of
inferior products. Sadly, he’s managing it.
This
is how we felt in 1999:
So,
don’t be like Bill.
Do
something because you believe in it.
