When you help others, you help yourself. Really?
One of the most associated quote with voluntaryism. But it's not necessarily true all the time. Instead, you might get into trouble when helping people.

I bet you have friends saying,
"What's in it for me?"
Which simply translates into
"Why should I waste my money, time and energy to help people when they can't help me back or I don't get anything?"
If you're a volunteer enthusiasts, you might get pissed off at them. But hey, they are not wrong, it's just a different point of view. The fact is, they're not interested. And they will be interested when they will.
Okay, back to you volunteers,
All of you volunteer for a lot of different reasons, and using different ways.
You could volunteer to cleanse your sins.
You could volunteer to kill time or follow the crowd.
You could volunteer to gain something.
You could volunteer to gain nothing.
You could volunteer to just help.
You could volunteer to give back.
And a lot more reasons that I don't know yet. Share your reasons to volunteer.
Few incredible acts of voluntaryism that I've seen with my eyes,
- @maverickfoo and @bitrocker2020 has given their money, time and energy to spread Steemit in Malaysia. They run 100degrees, BoilerRoom, Steemit Bootcamp and other events all at 0 profit.
- Facilitators like @aaronleang, @joannewong, @orangila, @coachmelleow (please let me know if I miss anyone) gave their time and energy supporting and facilitating all of the events above.
- @kittichang and @timlee gave her knowledge, time, energy and money to coach part-time in a Cybercare, an NGO to underprivileged bright young ones.
- @williamsyee and @tifaong gave their money, time, knowledge and energy to train and guide underprivileged youths.
- @terminallyill gave his all to build @greetersguild, a platform meant specifically to welcome newbies onboard and polish them to be a high quality Steemian.
- @amariespeaks features new Steemians on her #MinnowMondays
What could be their intention? I don't care.
What could be their results? Some might care, I don't.
What could be their significance? I don't even care.
What I care is their actions in making a difference in even 1 person's life. And that difference is all it takes.
What are your voluntary actions?

You are most welcome... we are all here to help... many of us are paying forward because we received immense support and help from others. Cheers
Yeaaa, that's why I see so many veterans still joining events for newbies. It's the powerful support for the veterans that is keeping @maverickfoo, @bitrocker2020 and @teammalaysia strong!
@williamsyee and I also plan to keep supporting #teammalaysia initiatives now that we've met you face to face XD
