I would like to write about my impression
after I read this article.
I am
kind of surprised at this article. Even though it is tentative, is it true? - “Its
new price tag on a master’s of business administration degree? That would be
$0. ….. The full-tuition scholarship will be worth between $54,000 and $90,000,
depending on the student’s residence.” William Polk Carey donated $50 million
to Arizona State University (ASU). How many students are bale to be helped
pursue a MBA degree? The answer is “Hillman says the school will offer the
scholarships to a maximum of 120 students in the fall.” I have heard many
American stories like this.
In Japan, Atsugiri Jason from America is popular nowadays and he
shouts in a loud voice, “Why Japanese people? Why?” Conversely, I want to shout
like this, “Why American people? Why?” The questions are as follows.
1 Why do they own that great deal of money as an individual?
2 Why are they so generous?
3 Why do they feel a sense of unfairness?
I guess that answers are different in
respective cases. However, I think that this must be ‘Transcendence needs of Maslow’s
Hierarchy - helping others to achieve self-actualization’.
Actually, this is not my first time to think
of something like this. In my junior high school days, I read ‘Daddy-Long-Legs’ as an
English side reader. Back then, I was kind of interested in this book. The
literature was published in 1912, so it was about a century ago. Therefore, at
least, for more than 100 years, they have had a mind to contribute to education
traditionally in the U.S.
Come
to think of it, in 2012, in America, the amount of donation was $316.23 billion
(30 chou-yen) and 19.4 times than Japan’s. Furthermore, the rate of individual
donation was 72% of all. That’s not all. The employees in NPO accounted for 10%
of all in America. One of the centerpiece of President Obama’s politics is also
‘social innovation fund’. Though I don’t have enough money to be able to donate
and I don’t know that we will live in the similar social trend in the near
future in Japan, I’m also able to have the motivation like the following sentences.
They are the last part of my essay - What I think about TED "The puzzle of
motivation by Daniel H. Pink". I want to write the same conclusion.
While looking at my children’s smiles, I sometimes think about what
I can do for them and what can be a goal for us. I think that this type of
thinking process is also one of the transcendent needs and intrinsic
motivators. When we work on this kind of theme, needless to say, obviously, we
must work creatively, passionately, and effectively. Because at that time, we
can play the role of a hero like in American movies. They can risk their lives
and do a really good job for love and others, not for money. If we can find
this sort of motivator, we will be able to grow stronger, do a better job, and
live life more fully.
