Ever Since...

What
we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and
the world remains and is immortal. —Albert Pike
What
is a better motivation and use for business profits than to donate part of them
to philanthropy? We can only eat three or five meals a day at most, and
even if our house has many bedrooms, we can only sleep on one bed in one room
per night.
Among
the capitalists I admire the most are Singapore philanthropist Tan Kah Kee, who
donated Xiamen University in south China in 1921 and much of his fortune to
education; he was also an activist tycoon. He donated most of his wealth
to charities long before Warren Buffett and Bill Gates started a similar trend
in the West.
The
recent outpouring of civic efforts and donations to typhoon Yolanda victims
also saw business people’s unprecedented philanthropy in the Philippines. One
of the most active sectors is the ethnic Chinese business community.
