As opposed to a lot of movies, stories and even sermons, the conclusion at the end seems pretty standard: Money cannot buy everything. It can't buy love definitely according to the movie 'Indecent Proposal'.
I beg to differ. I think everyone can buy happiness. I have bought it before and bought some again yesterday. Let me share the secret with you...
Remember this : Each time you ‘draw out notes, aid the endangered', you are actually buying happiness. If you wonder why the first letter of the phrase quoted is bolded, it combines to give you the word ‘donate’!
In the Longman’s dictionary, the word ‘donate’ means ‘to give something, especially money, to a person or an organization in order to help them’
In my dictionary (in the mind only), the following can be found:
Donate (verb) - the act of buying happiness, originated from the mnemonics 'draw out notes, aid the endangered'
So, each time when we donate money to charity, remember that we are not actually parting with our money but are actually buying happiness. Just like any other products that we buy in a shop, it is sometimes a ‘cash and carry’ where you pay at the checkout and get it instantly. On the other hand, there are also products that involve a delivery such as a big piece of furniture.
The same goes to happiness. When you buy happiness (i.e. donate), sometimes you get instant happiness but there are some that come very much later, such as donations to construct an orphanage. Regardless of ‘cash & carry’ or ‘delivery-required’ happiness, you will sure get it. And if you are of the ‘kiasu’ type, then make sure you maximize your happiness when you have already paid for it!
So, ladies and gentlemen, kiasu or non-kiasu, get ready to:
‘draw out notes, aid the endangered'
