What’s your contribution to this world?

Posted by Eric Tan on Jan 17, 2008 in Browsing Web, looking at the world, thinkin' loud

“What’s my contribution to this world?”

This question pop up in my mind, on and off. Why? I’ve gone through the standard procedure of “birth, grow up, be educate and make some money“, and inherited the standard goal (or is it not?) from a simple Chinese family: “be someone useful”.

But, if you ask me this question, I’ll tell you: “nothing”.

Why? I don’t know.

Maybe you need to know “what” is useful, before you can do something useful?

Or, maybe “å?ªæ‡‚æ?µéŒ¢çš„地方長ä¸?出好男人”? (好男人)

I don’t know. Hope I can do some project like this..

Saw some comments criticizing the project.

Well, I don’t think it’s that silly after all. At least I know the idea is way better that One Laptop per Child. why? Who need a laptop when survival is a problem?

I know this will not be the solution, but at least this sounds like some kind of solution? At least I think distributing filters monthly seems a lot more feasible than distributing clean water daily. Just like giving fishing rod is better than giving fish, maybe?
