Comment from : neil tristan yabut

Someone should tell James Deakin not everyone has Taipan contacts and celebrity friends His talk doesn't apply to the majority of people Personally, I buy school supplies and deliver it to schools firsthand on my dad's pick up truck When Covid hit, I delivered tablets instead According to mr Deakin, I "only tapped 10 of my capability to give" I wonder where he got that figure but as soon as he said that I knew this talk would be worthless I just stayed for the laughs

Don't stop giving, giving makes you rich and happy
Comment from : Hendri Agustin

I think this is the best video on charity I've ever seen so far It's the most right thing to do because you are giving directly and giving now to the people that need it most and it's sacrificing your own resources which is very charitable
Comment from : Michael Huynh

Charity shouldn't be about self-interest but selflessness
Comment from : Gerard MacMahon

Is it true that james is Pro Marcos?
Comment from : martigo

Well, I don't understand, why you couldn't do both? Giving money for charity is better than not giving money at all, and using your creative self to raise money and help is also a good way to help
Comment from : Ava Katushka

God bless you sir
Comment from : Manong Jon

He stop giving money to charity because he is giving the charity for his skills and talents and use them to other people for helping the needy ones, the more people who help someone the better :)
Comment from : Jessie Salenga

I think he is missing the point of charity, with compassion, guilt and obligation - rather charity should be fundamentally surrounded around a heart of selflessness, understanding that others are less fortunate

Charity does not need to be complex, it's just need to be as simple as possible

I give to charity Kaya lang iniinspect ko muna kung legit ba Kung napupunta ba talaga sa beneficiaries or sa bulsa nung may-ari Mostly sa Catholic ako nagbibigay, run by priests and nuns Hindi sa born again Kasi materialistic mga born again Sabihin na nating nag-Starbucks si Sister pero hindi naman ganun kagarapal Ang gusto ko suportahan mga disabled, batang may cancer, matanda sa nursing homes, indigenous tribes, ung talagang cut off sa sistema Pero kung malakas ka naman, bakit kailangan mo pa magpaawa? Americanized kasi ako eh I believe in home loans, student loans, 2-3 jobs I don't support Housing because like Kadamay Gusto mo ng bahay mag-PAGIBIG ka Gusto mo mag-aral, scholar din ako nung College Mag-working student ka sa fastfood Mga kaklase ko ganun I don't support education, housing I support mga orphanage, hospitals for poor people I don't support political advocacies

wowsuch a moving story
Comment from : Rosalie B

Not everyone is wealthy enough to feed their own charity on their income alone There are MANY great causes that are NOT based on YOUR 3 fundamentals AND consider the charity that helped you through life food for thought James

Don't give any money to scam charities All they do is higher their unqualified relatives and friends with high salaries and you'd be lucky if 3 cent of every dollar went to what the charity is for You see people worth $100 million on commercials trying to get minimum wage factory workers living paycheck to paycheck STOOPID

Whaaaat? Just for offering lifts?
Comment from : Chris Dainty

230 000 pesos is 12 000 dollars which is less than the 20 000 dollars he was going to give from his own pocket in the first place like many tedX talks this seems to be a self glorification talk
Comment from : Sukhbir Sekhon

Comment from : J K

I love the story in the end!
Comment from : Melissa Cruz

I like reading everyone's comments, but what I'm gathering is more of a debate I'm not here to pick a side It's more about taking charity away from being institutionalized, and moving it to grassroots movements to do the things you want to do (care) as opposed to doing it out of guilt or impulse donation (which is also guilt) In short, you do more when you care than when you just put money in an envelope and never see full breadth of impact (smiles, stories, gratitude) To conclude: do it yourself charity
Comment from : Abraham Franco

Because it's a waste of money and the poor are generally more trouble than they're worth

FANTASTIC Ted Talk!
Comment from : Stef Lee

wow, great talk and good ideas! :D
Comment from : niemandeinszweidrei

What you're doing to help improve things around you is commendable but imho you used a hook that is unintentionally unfair to organizations that rely on charitable giving to help the needy Charity allows people who have had a tough break, like you yourself experienced, to get a meal for a day so they can still fight tomorrow, get medication, shelter, skills training, or even someone to talk to over a helpline who will encourage them hang in there Perhaps not everyone has the physical or logistical means to help but they can spare a few pesos It's their way That act is helpful in a tangible way

You not a tight ass You a dumb ass!! Learn to see the world from a different perspective other than your own, be careful what you wish for You may be the one on the other end one day!

amazing story

1 billion of our fellow humans are hungry
Comment from : William Wait

I stopped giving (well, I never really started, honestly) because I'm a tight-ass that's why
Comment from : 465marko

Hey James, well done! Being creative in giving certainly amounts to more Cheers buddy!
Comment from : Jojo Mañosa

He stopped giving money to charity - why? Because he started doing his own charitable actions? His whole taxi service only worked because those people he drove around gave money to his charity I understand the "appeal to people's self interest" idea, but I don't understand not giving to charity
