How to Help
| Every drop of productivity adds something positive to the ocean of life. |
Many people ask us how they can help our organization, or if they feel like they
benefited from our free of charge information, they want to give something back.
Self Knowledge Base does not take any financial contribution or gifts but encourages
its participants to do one of the following if they want to help.
We are all innately thirsty to help. Sometime, the way our life goes, we just forget it.
But, if we take a moment and look within, we will see that the thirst is there. We don’
t have to all be Nobel Prize winners, or some title on a cover, we can make a change
in our own way. Depending on what we are good at, what strengths we have, what
interests us (we do better when we do anything with interest, the impact is more
intense). Here are just some ideas, please feel free to create your own ideas as well,
as long as you are sure they are really helping our Earth both in the short and the long
run. Be curious when wanting to do something beneficial, make sure you
investigate it to know it has no underlying negative impacts and effects. If we don’t
do it consciously with responsible choices, it is better if we don’t do anything at all.
Sometimes having no impact is the best way to go especially if our ego is
categorizing our negative impact as a positive one. We have some examples of ways
to help just to give some idea. There are many ways to do this. On a regular base,
we need translators to translate and type our educational material for distribution, we
are interested in all languages specifically Arabic and Farsi. In addition, we need
volunteers to help us with distributing brochures and educational material in targeted
areas. Please contact us at info@selfknowledgebase.com to get more information.
Below is a list of other things you can do to make a positive impact.
1. Plant a tree anywhere you feel is suitable to do so. If you’re not sure, ask
appropriate agencies in your area. To get some ideas go to http://www.treehelp.
com/howto/howto-plant-a-tree.asp or find other useful tools.
2. Clean a river, a neighborhood, a street, a park or any other place accessible.
3. Give educational books to a child and tell them about the book. Exp. Boarders has
a program where you can donate books to children and they will deliver. Other
sites www.firstbook.org/ www.booksindeed.org/ Please note that these are
recommendations, we do not have any partnership with these organizations.
4. Join a volunteer organization in your neighborhood and do something positive.
Please note that these are just recommendation and we do not have any partnership
with these groups. You can check out http://www.americorps.gov/ or http://www.
peacecorps.gov/ or http://www.friendsofvista.org/ or http://www.voa.org/ or
other organization of your choice.
5. Car pool if you can. Some sites you can use are http://www.erideshare.com/ or
http://www.carpoolconnect.com/ or http://www.carpoolworld.com/
6. Sponsor a child for education.
7. Stop yourself when judging someone or something without having enough factual
knowledge.
8. Recycle all your paper and plastic. Learn and educate a friend about the importance
of recycling.
9. Donate whatever you have no use for since there is always someone who needs
what you don’t.
10. Get to know or learn about someone or something you discriminate against.
11. Write a letter of acknowledgement to your government representative focusing
on what positive they are doing and how it is being helpful. Be a positive advocate
for improvement and get involved in your own way. Too many times we focus on
sending a complaint to authorities while disregarding the positive they are doing. But
communication has to be both ways, focusing on positive and negative.
The links we provide above are just examples; we do not have any special preferences and/or
relationships to the above links. You can do your own investigation. Remember, investigation is an
important part of the giving process. If you just want to give without this part, you might want to
question your act and re think whether what you are doing is really helpful from a deeper perspective
and in the long run.
