• Give 5 percent of last years income away. Do it
  personally, not through a charity. Advertise
  among potential recipients in a charitable field
  of interest that you are giving, say, 2000 away.
  Interview applicants, give out the money, and
  follow its use to a successful conclusion.

  new shoes, watching a rented movie on Tuesday
  night, and spend the time promoting the
  well-being of others. Help in a soup kitchen,
  visit AIDS patients, clean the public park, raise
  funds for your alma mater.

• Visit areas where you will encounter the
  homeless. Talk to beggars and judge as well as
  you can whether they will use the money for
  nondestructive purposes. Spend three hours a week
  doing this.

• When you read of particularly virtuous or evil
  acts, write letters. Compose fan letters to
  people who could use your praise,
  mend-your-ways letters to people and
  organizations you dislike. Follow up with letters
  to elected officials who can act directly. Again,
  spend three hours weekly in this activity.
