Shohei Ohtani, nicknamed "Shotime"將向全日本約2萬所的小學,捐出6萬個棒球手套。

 Shohei Ohtani, nicknamed "Shotime",

這兩天,日本媒體都在熱烈地討論著一個話題。在美國職業棒球聯盟打球的著名球星大谷翔平,發起了一個名為「一起來打棒球」的活動。他將向全日本約2萬所的小學,捐出6萬個棒球手套。此舉感動了很多人。
大谷翔平是上個星期在個人IG帳號上,發佈這一消息的。他說打算贈送給全日本每一所小學3個棒球手套。都是小學低年級學生用的。考慮到會有左撇子的小朋友,為了不讓他們錯失與棒球結緣的機會,他決定送出2個左手手套,還有1個左撇子專用的右手手套。這篇文章得到了100多萬粉絲的點讚。
這幾天有記者實地走訪了各地的小學。看到校方紛紛把這則新聞的剪報貼在牆上,列為全校朝會的報告主題。有的學校沒有棒球場,但老師和小朋友們都表示,會利用下課時間傳接球,週末也會到公園或棒球場去打棒球。現在,孩子們最大的期待,就是能夠趕快用上一次大谷送的棒球手套。
大谷說:「我希望這個手套能成為我們下一代『夢想與勇氣』的象徵。因為棒球給了我擁有充實人生的機會,所以我希望透過捐贈手套這件事,讓孩子們接觸棒球這項運動,並激發孩童們對棒球的興趣。」
據統計,大谷翔平送出這6萬個手套,預計要花上10億日圓(約合2.1億元台幣),但這對大谷來說不是什麼大問題。根據日本媒體報導,已經成為自由球員的大谷,現在是美國各大球隊爭相簽約的對象。有望簽訂大聯盟史上最豐厚的5億美元(約合162億元新台幣)的合約。
很多成功人士都會用捐贈的方式來回饋社會。大谷這一次的回饋方式卻十分特別。因為他捐贈的對象,是和自己當年一樣追求夢想的棒球少年。同時他還照顧到了左撇子的孩子們,讓人感到非常溫暖。
今天的日本,也面臨了棒球人口逐漸萎縮的狀況。身為大聯盟頂級球星的大谷,正在為今後棒球的發展,貢獻自己的一份力量。

After Charles Feeney piling up billions in business, he pledged to donate almost all of his money to causes before he died.

 

查爾斯·菲尼 (Charles Feeney) 去世,享年 92 歲

在累積了數十億美元的生意後,他承諾在去世前將幾乎所有的錢捐給慈善事業。 他成功了,然後過著更樸素的生活。




《富比士》稱,在這樣的富豪中,從來沒有人在生前如此徹底地捐出一筆財富。 但正如菲尼先生在簽署承諾書時所說:「我想不出還有什麼比在有生之年進行捐贈、親自致力於改善人類狀況的有意義的努力對個人更有價值、更恰當的財富使用方式了。”


Charles Feeney, Who Made a Fortune and Then Gave It Away, Dies at 92

After piling up billions in business, he pledged to donate almost all of his money to causes before he died. He succeeded, and then lived a more modest life.



Forbes said that no one of such riches had ever given away a fortune so completely while still alive. But as Mr. Feeney said as he signed on to the pledge: “I cannot think of a more personally rewarding and appropriate use of wealth than to give while one is living, to personally devote oneself to meaningful efforts to improve the human condition.”
