Charif Souki Gets Paid More To Spend Four Hours At The Office Than The Average US Worker Makes In A Year...

I certainly don't begrudge the CEO of the Texas based Cheniere Energy and the highest earning US executive his US$142 million salary.
He obviously needs it.
And who knows what he gives away,
I don't, so I won't judge him but isn't the amount rather, well, obscene?
Charif and I have never met.
As far as I know he doesn't follow this blog and we've never broken bread together.
Nor have we shared a bottle of red.
But I do feel compelled to send him a copy of my little book, How To Live Well On A Small Income and perhaps he wouldn't need to spend all that time at the office.
The highest paid New Zealand executive is the ANZ Bank's David Hisco who's NZ$4.1 million salary is seen as rather excessive too, even though he's a pauper with a pittance compared with Mr Souki.
And David's salary is one hundred and twenty times more than the bank's lowest paid worker.
All we need is enough
but most don't even have that...

You Might Like To Give Someone Ten Today...

For two or three years now, I've asked people who've emailed me for a copy of the little book How To Live Well On A Small Income to go out onto the street or to their supermarket, to find a complete stranger who appears down and out.
And to give them ten dollars or pounds or krona or euro or whatever currency they live with.
Then if they agree to do that, they send me their postal address and I send them
a copy of the little book.
It's a simple, random act of kindness that can make our world a better place.
I've received many many wonderful responses, even a youtube clip, from people who've given a ten away. Heartwarming are the stories of how they met this young mum in the supermarket who didn't have enough cash at the checkout or of the particular man on the street.
Many want to just keep on giving and are, according to what they can afford.
So I thought today being April 10,
it's an appropriate day to start
'Give Someone Ten Today'
Perhaps you'll take part in it, if not today, then another day or if and when you might feel like it.
Maybe we can start a world wide event and those that can will, Give Someone Ten Today...
