Pay It Forward is an inspiring movie back in the year 2000, which talks about a little boy who devised a scheme to do charity. The pyramid scheme, most of us are aware, aims to make one person to sell to three person, or called downlines. Later each downline would have to come up with another three downlines. The boy in the story utilized this marketing scheme not by making profit, instead, he tries to do good deeds on three person, and as a return, the three person would each have to help another three person. And that's how the story goes.
"You do a favor that REALLY HELPS someone,
and tell him or her NOT TO pay it back.
but to PAY IT FORWARD to three people
who, in turn, each pay it forward to three more..."
It was a touching story, although in the end the boy was stabbed to death when trying to defend a friend from bullies. Inspired by the movie, an organization of the same name realize the concept and now running a similar movement to aid others. Well, you can take a look at its website. Or watch the trailer here
