Why do you need recognition for doing good and helping people? It should be enough that you do it and that it helps you support yourself (eg open source contribution that can also help you get a job). Ego shouldn't be that big of a focus.

Thank you for your insight. I agree, seeking recognition may indeed be seen as ego. We engage in volunteer work focused on social contribution and community welfare for people suffering from poverty. Instead of focusing on how to turn this into money, we believe that shifting the value starting point to contribution-based principles could reveal the compassion hidden in modern society and create new markets. Ultimately, I’ve realized that selfless acts of helping others lead to peace of mind. We are, after all, in pursuit of the meaning of life. However, we also acknowledged the fact that, without being appreciated, it’s difficult to sustain these efforts. As you said, it may be ego after all；；
