The relationship of business, fortune and charity
Entrepreneurs have a sign: for a business to flourish and not go bankrupt, it is necessary to donate a certain part of its income to the poor. This rule was discovered when trade relations were just beginning to emerge. Therefore, if a wealthy person does not want to share part of the income on his own, then fate itself will decide how much and where the capital will go in the past of a successful entrepreneur.
For some business owners, charity exists as a form of voluntary activity. She does not carry any pitfalls and is sincere from the heart.
Some businessmen feel that doing charity is embarrassing. But there are other reasons for not disclosing this type of activity. If the company finds out about a single case, then more applicants will appear, on which the limit is not calculated. And the accusations will begin that they are helping someone, but not others.
It is important to remember that charity not only helps people, but also changes their worldview and solves global issues and problems.
