Interlocking Red Cross

In “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” Robert Kiyosaki describes two differing views on charity. His “rich dad” tithed ten percent of his income to his church and was generous in offering his time and talents. “Poor dad” refused to give, claiming he had barely enough for his needs with nothing to spare. Kiyosaki said it doesn’t work that way. He suggested that those who give freely see greater returns, and you should give the one thing you feel you need most. If you want friends, you should be more friendly. If you lack time, find a way to give more time to others. If you need cash, find someone who needs it more than you do. It’s counterintuitive, but I’ve tested his theory and it rings true. For years I was a monthly Red Cross platelet donor. I can tell you I’ve never enjoyed such wonderful good health, before or since.
