Sadio Mane, The Liverpool Star from Senegal (earning approximately 10.2 million dollars annually),has given the world a lesson in modesty after some fans spotted him carrying a cracked Iphone.His response is legendary:
"Why would I want ten Ferraris, 20 diamond watches and two jet planes? What would that do for the world? I starved, I worked in the fields, I played barefoot, and I didn't go to school. Now I can help people. I prefer to build schools and give poor people food or clothing. I have built schools [and] a stadium; we provide clothes, shoes, and food for people in extreme poverty. In addition, I give 70 euros per month to all people from a very poor Senegalese region in order to contribute to their family economy. I do not need to display luxury cars, luxury homes, trips, and even planes. I prefer that my people receive a little of what life has given me," Mane said.
@MarkHoltom The world needs more Sadio Mane's.
@DavidVC39
How can they be created?
@nuwagaba2 we need to clone him 😅
@fh0
Can't we train our kids such morals?
@nuwagaba2 I'm not convinced that lack of morals is the issue.
I think it's a complicated issue that I'm far from understanding fully.
I think 99% have good morals and only want the best for others. We also have in some countries systems in place to ensure a living standard for everyone (which is getting reduced, while the rich ones get richer). In our capitalist system also other things get into the focus and our standards and demands grow and grow
🤷🤷
@fh0
Can we change tge system amd make it to the one where everyone benefits?
@nuwagaba2 the world is getting more authoritarian and more and more people vote for the far right, a lot of people or the majority seem to prefer to change it for the worse.
I hope the outlook is better where you are living
@fh0
Where i live things are worse that's why we do our best to make it a better place. Can I share with you about my community project?
