Brainteasers: 7th Feb Giveaway

The satisfaction of giving can only be experienced, not explained. Like drugs, they can be addictive.
—— Dickson Idlier

I have been supporting the 'Filiporean Project' for a while. I have done this close to 10 times already. Useful stuff that I found in the dumpster could be used by people who need them.

This is the recent collection on 7 February 2021 from another group of ladies from Marjorie's team. Ivy is the leader. As usual, I would pack most of the stuff I am giving into plastic boxes (I also dumpster dives these). Then placed them in my dining room as this is the only spare space in my flat for this activity.

Stuff that I have collected mainly from dumpster diving for a few months and donors.

The ladies came after 1 pm as there were some hiccups on the people coming over. So left 3 instead of 5 ladies. I am glad this group came as they took all my stuff so I don't have to throw any away. It only took about 1.5 hours to pack my stuff into their bags. Very fast.

These ladies seem eager to packed the stuff I have into their boxes so they can ship it back to their hometown.

This concludes my 7 Feb giveaway post.

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...
