World Champion Boxer Manny Pacquiao Builds 1,000 Homes For Poor Filipinos
Involved in what’s said to be the ‘fight of the century’, professional boxer Manny Pacquiao, even upon his defeat, made over $100 million and is now using his earnings towards a respectable initiative. The Philippines-native took to Facebook with the message: “I’m so happy giving this houses free to my constituents in Sarangani Province from my own pocket more than thousand families are the beneficiaries.” Upon his major, worldwide-viewed match with Floyd Mayweather Jr, he was inspired to make a difference with his earnings. The boxer felt it was his duty to give back and recognize his roots at a time like this.

This got me from the first line!
As health researcher, Jason Prall traveled the world to seek answers from the planet’s healthiest people, a few things became clear:
What these extraordinary people all had in common were things like gratitude, community, connection, and a sense of purpose.
These things seemed even more important than diet and exercise.

The Most Important Way To Change The World For The Better
When I look at everything going on around the planet at present, at all the news that hits my comm lines, of anything I could share with you, THE most important, the most applicable and the most beneficial thing would be this.
Anything you can do to make yourself
More aware
More perceptive
More intelligent
More energetic
More powerful
and a better communicator
is the best thing on which you can focus that will have beneficial effects on all whose lives you touch.
This week, what I would like to do is ask you to take a minute and do the following:
1. Make a list of 6 things in your life you would like to improve.
2. For each item on that list, write down something you could confront doing to improve that area.
Let me know what results you get from doing this will you?
The Old Egg Seller – ‘Charity Wrapped With Dignity’
She asked him, “How much are you selling the eggs for?”
The old seller replied, “$.25 an egg, Madam.”
She said to him, “I will take 6 eggs for $1.25 or I will leave.”
The old seller replied, “Come take them at the price you want. Maybe, this is a good beginning because I have not been able to sell even a single egg today.”
She took the eggs and walked away feeling she had won. She got into her fancy car and went to a posh restaurant with her friend. There, she and her friend, ordered whatever they liked. They ate a little and left a lot of what they ordered. Then she went to pay the bill. The bill cost her $45.00 She gave $50.00 and told the owner of the restaurant to keep the change.
This incident might have seemed quite normal to the restaurant owner but, had he seen it, very painful to the poor egg seller.
The point is, why do many show they have the power when they buy from the needy? And why get generous to those who do not even need our generosity?
I once read somewhere: My father used to buy simple goods from poor people at high prices, even though he did not need them.
Sometimes he even used to pay extra for them. I got concerned by this act and asked him why does he do so? My father replied, “It is a charity wrapped with dignity, my child.”
If you feel that people need to see this, then do spread this message.
Love this concept! Charity wrapped with dignity!
If more of us did it, we’d have less government handouts which breed only dependence on an unethical, irresponsible, self-serving few who spend other people’s money all too freely.
The story may or may not be true but the principle is a valid as the sun and the grass.
