捐献 (donation) 是一种投资。

上次有人问及捐献，

是不是捐献能够减税？ YES!

还是说反正这部分钱也留不住，交给 IRS 不如交给我知道的组织？ YES!!

我记得有个老美讲，想通过捐款的方式留住更多的钱在自己的腰包里是不可能的。 YES!!!

既然如此，个人以为，同样的钱，给谁不是给？ Why do I have to keep sending my hard earned $$ to Uncle Sam who has already asked for too much from me and never appreciated my giving?  :-((   depressed enough!

Personally, I treat donation as a good investment, by which good friendship, connection and network can be built up in return. Don’t overlook those hidden opportunities. 劲得使在刀刃上。 Further more, 不敢说造福人类 （心有余而力不足），但求助人为乐。 帮人嘛，也得帮到点子上不是？ 一片面包 to 海蒂，胜过一米 to 皇帝。

Not mentioning, hopefully, I could become a bit famous one day, haha :-)) . might not like Bill Gates, but… you get my point, don’t you?

投资理财，别太小气哦！
