What would you do if you
won
a million dollars in a contest ?
Would
you spend all your money shopping for toys, clothes
and books ? Would you rather take a trip
around the world
? Perhaps, you might
deposit/put all the money in a bank and
live on
the interest it earns for the rest of your life.
Many rich people in history have
put
their millions to worthwhile causes such as
building
schools and hospitals. They have
donated their
money to support orphanages and other charitable
organizations. We call
these
people philanthropists. These millions have
brought joy
to the lives of many people. The Tan Tock Seng
hospital, for example,
remains an important convalescent place today,
for people with
infectious diseases. Until today, the
schools
that Lee Kong Chian built still exist to
fulfil
his vision of educating young people.
Though
both these philanthropists died many years ago,
what
they did with their money is
still
a blessing to many Singaporeans.
Would you, then, part
with your wealth to further the good of other
people ?
