The education of children in my early days may have been straightlaced, yet I have always been thankful that the custom was quite general to teach young people to give systematically of money that they themselves had earned. It is a good thing to lead children to realize early the importance of their obligations to others but, I confess, it is increasingly difficult; for what were luxuries then have become commonplaces now. It should be a greater pleasure and satisfaction to give money for a good cause than to earn it, and I have always indulged the hope that during my life I should be able to help establish efficiency in giving so that wealth may be of greater use to the present and future generations.

白话

洛克菲勒回忆,小时候的教育可能刻板,但他一直庆幸当时普遍教年轻人把自己挣来的钱系统地捐出去。让孩子早早意识到对他人的义务是好事,但他承认这越来越难,因为过去的奢侈品如今成了日常用品。为善事捐钱应该比挣钱更快乐、更满足,他一直希望在有生之年帮助建立高效的捐赠方式,让财富对今人和后代更有用。

上下文

洛克菲勒在回忆录中讲述童年教育如何影响他一生系统捐赠的习惯。

今日一问

你教过孩子(或自己)把挣来的钱有系统地分出一部分去帮助别人吗?
