The best philanthropy, the help that does the most good and the least harm, the help that nourishes civilization at its very root, that most widely disseminates health, righteousness, and happiness, is not what is usually called charity. It is, in my judgment, the investment of effort or time or money, carefully considered with relation to the power of employing people at a remunerative wage, to expand and develop the resources at hand, and to give opportunity for progress and healthful labour where it did not exist before. No mere money-giving is comparable to this in its lasting and beneficial results.

白话
洛克菲勒认为，最好的慈善不是通常说的“施舍”。真正最有益、最少害处、能从根上滋养文明的帮助，是把精力、时间或钱经过仔细考虑后投出去，用来以能养家的工资雇人、开发手头资源、在原本没有机会的地方创造进步和健康劳动的机会。单纯给钱，在持久和有益的效果上没法跟这种投资相比。也就是说，与其直接发钱，不如创造让人能靠劳动自立的条件。
上下文
洛克菲勒在回忆录中阐述其“科学慈善”理念，强调助人自立而非单纯施舍。

你帮助别人时，是直接给结果，还是帮对方获得自己站起来的能力？
