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。

Low on cash? What have you been spending on?

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 ...

IdlierStories: Muddy Water

Once Buddha was walking from one town to another town with a few of his followers. This was in the initial days. While they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and Buddha told one of his disciples, “I am thirsty. Please get me some water from that lake there”. The disciple walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that some people were washing clothes in the water and, right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing the lake right at the edge of it. As a result, the water became very muddy, very turbid. The disciple thought, “How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?!” So he came back and told the Buddha, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit to drink”. So, the Buddha said, let us take a little rest here by the tree. After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. The disciple obediently went back to the lake. This time he found that the l...
