  • These three Principles I can figure out from a non-profit aspect as I am working in a non profit organization-

    1. Giving- My resources- energy, knowledge, capacities, skills, time, passion to make a meaningful change in the society
    2. Earning- Respect from the community, love, reputation from the organization and community
    3. Sustaining- Income which fulfills my living and to pursue these courses which keep me thriving
  • The organization that I am in is a Non for profit organization and has a mission that provides a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop communication and leadership resulting in greater self confidence and personal growth,
    It has enabled me to give selflessly my time to help and support new members find their voice and develop their self confidence. It has also helped me give more time to a protege' or mentee and in doing so I have turned to help build my home by giving more time to my daughter to help build her foundation for the coming years. It has also helped me reach out to communities to help teach the disadvantaged.
    Basically it has given me a broader sense of giving to everyone who needs time to learn a new skill, or learn a new trait.

  • Applying the rules of leadership principal by balancing by giving earning and sustaining can be made real.

  • The principle of earning in the form of knowledge and providing it in the form of an Academic Tutor is what drives me learn more about the subject matter.

  • SUSTAINING

    • This is my greatest weakness and my biggest mountain which disallow me to balance the three principles

    • Less focus on myself development, family, work and community

    • investing my time and money on the useless project or activities that I did not earn anything and not able to give more

  • my life is an organization for me,it's up to me to organize it in the best way possible.3 before the principle (to give) I have to value myself and then respect my thoughts every time I achieve success, I have to move forward without underestimating this success, because without giving, life has no meaning.it's in my hands to keep it going when I win

  • The principle i will focus on is giving. For our organization, we operate in a nation where unemployment is very high. Hence we provide free capacity building sessions for aspiring entrepreneurs to help them start up sustainable businesses. We also provide mentoring and business advisory services to help them on their entrepreneurship journey.

  • From the three principles giving and earning are more familiar in my personal life. I believe giving brings eternal satisfaction and I used to share what I have with my family members and in need. However, my problem is to balance my earning and giving in a sustainable manner. Here in this course I am sure I will learn a lot to implement the three principles in my personal life and in my working conditions.

  • Giving - Our organization works with communities devastated by storms (in our current situation - Hurricane Michael). In giving, we help to bring families home to a safe place by "Shrinking the time between disaster and recovery." While we are here to help, we always hope to build a more resilient future for family homes with an ability to stand the next storm. By giving, we provide best practices, we educate homeowners about insurance, safety and fortification for their home, as well as, advocacy for their home protection.

  • I choose to discuss about earning from the stated three principles.
    Earning - Previously, the first thing that come into my mind when I think about earning is money. But from the previous section I understood that I can earn knowledge, reputation, respect, wealth and even fame that can be fuel to thrive. As I am one of citizens of poor country, I have to strive to increase earning, especially money, to improve my way of living. To do so, the best way to earn knowledge as it is the economical way than others. Therefore, I did a lot to attain this objective. That is why I have two masters degree this time from Addis Ababa University, the first and reputable university in Ethiopia. I am eager to learn and improve myself in short term trainings like leadership offered by philanthropy university right here in this platform.
    I have strong ambition to improve myself by earning knowledge and skill so that I can ensure my financial earning through it. I believe that knowledge is one of earning that I can give for others so that the purpose of living in this earth can be meaningful. I believe that I have to sustain this language by reading, short and long term trainings, workshops and so on.

  • Dear DEBABRATA,
    You have good experience as giving is way of living purposeful life. But, as I have perceived from your explanation that you are working in the position to serve others for which you probably be rewarded. If so, is that possible to conclude that giving services you are expected from the servants for which you are rewarded as the Giving stated as one of three principles in this course? I thought it is giving what you have, without expecting any reward.

  • It is good experience, but do you think that you can give if there will not be any reward for it?

  • Dear BRIQUE,
    Your experience is amazing we have to learn a lot from. You give everything you have for beneficiaries in your program. SELF- RESPECT and SELF-CONFIDENCE are among them. But I mean, how really can you give these things practically as these are major issues Africans should develop. What are things you practically do to give them?
    Regards!

  • Yet you cannot give unless you also earn, and ultimately neither giving nor earning can continue without a focus on sustaining.

  • Giving, Earning and Sustaining are three Principles. I think the order must be Earning, Sustaining and Giving in this selfish world. We usually forget Giving part.

  • Giving is the most important Principle that we usually forget. Giving without hurting one's ego and respect is also appreciated.

  • Reflecting on my life. the principle of earning has been the core. life is all about earning. i work hard and in return to earn

  • I give without preference for religion, creed or belief. I give because I know there can be a relationship between the capacity to earn and the desire to give, and I believe in strengthening this relationship.
    In our corporate platform – which represents the principle of Earning –ur company is a government organization that believes in giving and receiving and believes that all taxpayers can pay their taxes and collect the right services. This is based on the law of the three. In all our Sustaining activities, we are principally concerned with continuity and the promise of maintaining the balance between our Giving and Earning in perpetuity

  • Sustaning is one of the principal my organization is adopting.

  • Sustaining is most important for me because it creates a balance between earning and scope for giving. From beginning of my life I always thought to create a corpus so that during tough days of lives I would be able to survive when earning would be limited. Sustenance is only possible when one is able to balance between earning, spending and giving. I somehow also feel that giving also creates energy in life like earning does.

    My One Large Outcome:

    1. To become a CEO of a not for profit Organisation by 2025 with experience of three years

    Skill and Resource Required:

    1. Doing a relevant course on leadership of not for profit organisation
      2, Broaden the current role to accomodate the next level of experience.
  • My organization practices the "sustaining" principle. Various strategies designed and implemented are geared towards long-term sustainability.

  • Within the organization that I am part of, I saw the manifestation of the principle of giving, its importance and relation to the other principles. Giving our time, resources, efforts, respect and compassion has been the reason behind the thriving of our non-profit organization. The tasks that members get require the dedication of our time and great efforts, without specifically any material reward, because our organization is based on voluntary work. I personally needed to sacrifice a considerable amount of my time, and energy to fulfill my tasks and contribute to the development of the project, although it sometimes overlaps with my studies and personal projects.

  • In our organization we give by delivering value to the different stakeholders for example SMEs benefit through the 3 pillars (skills, markets and finance) , Partners through various programs that we work together on collaboratively and our donors and funders we become an implementing partner and deliver the impact they need.

  • Giving

    Without giving, life has no purpose. I personally felt very much connected to this principal.

    Since small, our family have implemented this principal in our household. The older siblings always give to the younger and vice versa.

    Now as I grow older, i've applied it to my company where as a social impact consultant based in Malaysia, my company always advice others on how they can give/ create impact to others.

  • For me personally, I have embodied giving through the entire work of my life, as an undergraduate, I volunteered under different programs and initiatives to lead several advocacies which includes Save the girl child campaign (Advocacy against rape and girl child sexual molestation) Vote don't fight (Advocacy against electoral violence) Back to school (Capacity building outreaches to Secondary schools)
    I have also used my position in every organization I have worked with to contribute to the growth and expansion of such organizations while I invest my knowledge and resources into providing assistance within my capacity for colleagues.

    Giving has been a major principle for my current organization FATE foundation. we do this through our several programs where capacity building programs are put together for entrepreneurs free of charge alongside Free business consulting, mentoring and funding linkages

  • Being from a family of few financial resources, the principle that most guided my life was "earning". I tried not to waste any opportunity to acquire knowledge, skills, culture and also formal education. I consider this to be the foundation on which I built my personal journey.

  • The Principal which applies to me most is the Giving one. Most times i want to see the best out the people surrounding me. Hence i find my self looking at what i can do for them to make their life better. If their life become better then I will be less troubled.

  • Personally, I completely agree that giving is a vital part of the core principle for organization growth. It provides the platform to cause great and positive change in our environment.

  • I have earned knowledge and acquired skills first. Then I am imparting knowledge and skills to my students.

  • The role of a medical doctor in hospital is multifaceted. In the end healthcare and hospitals are business as well relying on the principles mentioned: Giving, earning, sustaining.

  • one main principles that I live by is giving. I find this very important as not only helps me, it also helps them too. I feel by giving it helps me understand them better and create a better bond with them

  • Giving:This is one of the key role my organisation is playing in our generation. Helping people to build a successful and lasting business.

  • I believe that the use of the three principles is a complete idea that fits to how I plan to create my academy. Furthermore, what really makes a difference would be the giving part. When we give, in my case offer a service for clients at a low price, giving a discount after several services have been purchased, or giving a complementary service for preference; are all a good approach to gain attention for the targeted audience.

  • I work for a not for profit. I have worked for nfps for most of my adult life. NFPs are both about giving and sustaining. They provide for the next generation and for a better society for us all.

    They individual has a single parents, old age peoples, Youths with out a skills, etc etc etc.

  • Good day, i must say this has been really helpful. One of the principles listed that i have always found difficult to perform is sustaining. Having to make up for resources given out have been challenging for me because i truly haven't thought of that, i simply relied on my earnings as my means of sustaining. But after reading through and now understanding that sustenance does form an integral part of a triangle, needed to define the true meaning to living.

    Thank you.

    This is living for me. It explains the essence of living. The fact that we made the world, the people, the organisations, family and other basic things better of as well as have a fair share of better living by giving makes one impactful.

    Thank you everyone.

  • When anyone asked me any question, I always answered it truthfully and with no hesitation; it was part of my leadership transformation journey to always learn to give without waiting for the feedback or to be thanked from anybody.

  • I embody the principle "sustaining" by prioritizing time for my mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical wellbeing. I make sure I am healthy and balanced before giving or taking from others. This way, I maintain energetic equilibrium and avoid an energy surplus or deficit.

  • I would contribute new ideas in Administrative and planning for working projects.

  • I don't have an organization just yet but even in our daily lives, it is imperative to note that these principles have always been a part of us.
    You must give when you have.
    The giving can continue only when you earn more.
    And to keep it running for a long time, there should be sustainability.

  • One of the three principles that reflect my organization is that we give our resources, time and money to our beneficiaries in need. Our motto ‘help-for-self-help’ ensures that projects become independent and self-sufficient.

  • Sustaining. It is very important to me. I always value the art of sustainability in every aspect of life.

  • Giving
    Taking my organization as an example, the bulk of what we do is embodied in giving. We impact entrepreneurial skills to groups of young business owner, helping them to Start, Grow and Scale their businesses at almost no cost.

  • We embed giving within our organisation by ensuring that every semester, 12 students from deprived backgrounds receive bursaries to enable them to study with us, ranging from 50% to 100% discounts.

  • I think the Principle of Earning is embodied in myself in the constant search and engagement with having multiple streams of income from basic salary to investments.

  • I feel the principle of earning is more applicable to me. I have 3 streams of income currently ,a general store/shop that contributes 40% to our annual income,rentals that contributes 50% and Mpesa outlet that contributes 10% through commission.

  • Using a program that considers women and girls of the community mostly ones that were not able to complete education and offer them skills needed to start and run a business. This is the Giving principle.

  • Giving- Our organization trains people for free in Social Entrepreneurship, leadership.
    We also cater for boarding expenses.
    We also gives water freely to the community while others sell

  • Earning

    I find this value relatable because I am very much invested in gathering what I need to thrive in my career and personal development. I have come to also realise that the level at which I am as a result of these resources that I have gathered, and that has reflected on me, has gained me some level of respect from the people in my circle.

  • Giving - is a principle I have grown from my childhood. My wife and I support family members who are intelligent into college or university as long as their parents cannot manage the fees. We give knowing the future depends on these children.

  • Earning a very essential topic to be discussed indeed. I believe before anything earning comes first, because without earning anything, we couldn't give anything too. If we don't earn anything then there is nothing to be sustained. Earning starts with investing in our self, meaning earning knowledge. It is the first thing to be earned, that knowledge can be gained by learning or though observation or through deep thought. Using that knowledge, we could earn money, create awareness. Earning is freedom. At the moment, I am earning knowledge. I am widening my scope and that's why I am enrolled in this course. To enrich my self in leadership and serve my country.

  • Giving is one way of of even earning and sustaining oneself. For me, giving involves impact knowledge for better Entrepreneurship Development in my country with the work we do at FATE Foundation, we giving by impacting to Entrepreneurs to start, scale and grow their businesses, of which I'm actively involve, we this I earn and of course helps to sustain the Entrepreneurship eco system.

    As an educator, I have given the first two principles to my students. I have give them time and attention, and sometimes also afecction. they always look for those things in me. I have always earned respect, honor, and also money from my work and I have substained in time. I have built my experience as a techer and as i person, but I have also created my own business, which is an academy of English in my city. In that way I can still work and apply these interesting principles I have learned from you.

    Thanks a lot.
    It is nice learning with you.

  • As leaders we also need humility, otherwise all the principles we work can be ambiguous for a real personality. Don´t you think?

  • Giving, Earning and Sustaining.
    I truly believe in giving. I personally mean giving of myself. There is an amazing thing that happens when you give knowledge, time, energy to help someone help themselves. When you give knowledge you are helping to sustain ideologies, ideas and culture. You are helping the person receiving that knowledge earn respect from those around them. It truly does work as a cycle.
