RE: How to make people happy with NOBEL

in #nobel5 years ago

Hi @achimmertens

Making people happy? such a difficult goal. it's even harder than to make money ....

I respect your work, however my strong belief tells me that the only long term way to help those in need is by teaching them how to solve their own problems. Or by creating job opportunity for them.

Giving money and receiving nothing in return create wrong mindset.

Upvote on the way :)
Yours, Piotr

Hi Piotr,
thank you for your honest answer.
Yes, maybe the first person that was happy was myself. Having the feeling to do something good.
And I agree with you, that gifting money to needy people is not the solution in the long run.
NOBEL is thought to give money not directly to people in need but to the supporters of them.
I can see in the list of recipients that there are people like @fucho80, @gloroiuskids, @dfacademy, @elkezakseg,...
These people help others and therefor I want to support them.
btw.: I'm reading about Project Hope and maybe there are some overlappings with my project. So when you write about a project, where you help those in need to solve their own problems, you can also use the #nobel tag. I'm going to upvote it (because you are in the target group) and to support you as well with some little money.
