脑筋急转弯: 给予的喜悦和可持续慈善：菲利波项目

您无需“富有”也可以给予任何人，尤其是陌生人。只需要有同情心和愿意付出。
—— Dickson Idlier

“菲利波项目”是由新加坡弗里根创始人科林·刘发起的。该项目从公共捐助者那里收集可用的小物品(脸谱网“赠送和接受免费物品”组的帖子中的详细信息)或从新加坡不消费者(FIS)垃圾箱潜水那里收集物品，并赠送给新加坡的菲律宾外籍家政工人(FDW)。他们把这些东西装进大纸箱，然后运回他们在菲律宾的家乡。他们要么自己或从捐赠者分担运费。这些运送的物品被送给他们的家人、亲戚或教会成员，因为有些人太穷了，他们连一顿饭也买不起。有些物品也会被转卖用来支付生活必需品的，比如食物、电源等。几乎是零成本和可持续的慈善活动，因为它分发别人不需要或捐赠的物品给穷人，只需要空间，时间和努力去做。听起来像当志愿者，对吗？

收集过程很简单。我聘请了马乔里领导的维萨亚斯小组，并确定了收集日期和时间。我会把我的物品的照片贴出来，这样他们就可以事先知道会发生什么。在实际的一天，他们会来取东西。

我在走廊放了两个垫子。整理和包装我的物品更宽敞、更通风。如果需要的话，我会给你大塑料袋（带拉链）。

包装好物品后，他们通常会吃晚午餐，然后用面包车把东西运到幸运广场的仓库。

iSAVvy: Financial Independence — The Lows

Low on cash? What have you been spending on? Image from: Photo by cottonbro from Pexels Financial independence is essentially able to sustain your lifestyle with the amount of money you have without working. This is one of life’s most difficult problems everyone has and many are unable to overcome it. —— Dickson Idlier I am not a financial consultant. What I wrote here is purely my opinion. The road to my financial independence is essentially be low on debts and expenses and high in investments and assets. How to control your expenses and debts depends on what is essential to you. I prefer rejecting any instalments (debts) whenever possible and have a simple lifestyle. After these, then build up your savings, investments and assets. This is how I did without many details but I think it is the easiest to get started. Ways to keep a low debt and expenses: Food is essential but not all kinds of food. Try keeping food expenses low but not compromising on quality. Reduce ...

BrainTeasers: Most bizarre Find

When dumpster diving, you may find interesting stuff as you salvage through the green and blue trash bins and any items people left at the void decks. Here I will show you my most bazzar find. My most bazaar find is ... a Living 11-inch Freshwater Stingray . My bazzar find live stingray in my 3 ft aquarium The 11 inch freshwater stingray was found in a broken 3ft tank beside the rubbish chute and slightly hidden by some kids' clothes laid on top of the tank. (I suspect the owner doesn't want anyone to notice it) Initially, I was only interested in the kids' clothes until I noticed it inside. When I saw it breathing, it surprised me. I was wondering how can I rescue it. I thought of releasing it in any pond or canals, but none is nearby (luckily as it might be a bad thing to do so). Finally, I decided to bring it home. I used a kids top to hold the tail and put it into a basket that was lying nearby. I carried the basket to my home. Luckily, after the rough journey hom...

IdlierStories: Be Happy With What We Have

Positive Brain Facebook Group A Sage was passing through the capital city of the famous king. While he was walking, he noticed a single currency coin on the road. He picked it up. He was satisfied with his simple living and he had no use of that coin. So, he planned to donate it to the one who is in need of it. He strolled around the streets throughout the day but didn’t find anyone such. Finally, he reached the rest area and spent a night there. Next morning, he wakes up in the morning for his daily activities and sees that a king is going for his invasion of another state with his war ready army. When the king saw the sage standing, he ordered his army to be stopped. He came to the Sage and said, “Oh Great Sage, I am going to war to win another state so that my state can be expanded. So bless me to be victorious”. After thinking, Sage gave a single currency coin to the king! The king was confused and annoyed with this because what use he has for a single coin while he is already one ...
