Would you charge for helping people?
I had lunch with colleagues from other department yesterday. One of the colleagues shared her experience when she encountered car tyre punctured few days ago. She doesn’t know how to change tyre, so she parked her car at the side and asked for helps.
There is a commercial area where a lot of people passing by. She asked for helps from two gentlemen. That two gentlemen asked for money for changing the tyre, and it is RM100! She has had no choice but bargain with them. At the end, she got her tyre changed by paying them RM50.
Then, my colleague asked me how much I would charge if I were the gentleman. That gave me a shock. I said I wouldn’t charge anything from that person who asked for help.
Money is such a powerful tool. If you help people with sincere heart, I think you wouldn’t ask for money in that case. People nowadays are manipulated by money and sometime forget who they are. Sometime, people might get lost, and I’ve experienced it before. You might be trying hard, and work hard to chase for money, at the end, you would notice you might lost more things in your life.
Try to observe things around you, and care the people around you. The world is still beautiful.
