Should One Expect a Reward When Doing a Good Deed?
A great many people presume upon a reward when doing a good deed. First and foremost, there is a natural tendency to equate doing good deeds with a certain amount of reward, and reward with a certain amount of money. What is more, they maintain that since the basis of contemporary society is money, one of the major means of earning money is getting reward by doing good deeds.
On the contrary, the vast majority of people assume that doing a good deed should be based on people’s personal interests. Hence, doing a good deed is fulfilling itself and reward is of minimal significance. Numerous examples can be given, but this will suffice. Mr. Leifeng lived a simple life dedicated to doing good deeds without expecting any reward and helping people from all walks of life, yet he was remembered as one of the most successful hero of our time.
Generally speaking, it is my view that we should not expect a reward when doing a good deed. We do this for enjoyment, fulfillment and other spiritual enhancement, not for the purpose of reward.

做好事应期望报酬吗？
很多人认为做好事应该得到奖励。首先，有一种自然倾向做好事是会得到奖励，并应伴随一定数量的金钱奖励。更重要的是，他们认为当代社会的基础是金钱，挣钱的一种方式是通过做好事获得回报。
相反，大多数人认为做好事应该基于人的个人意愿。因此，做好事满意本身的意愿，奖励是最小的意义。可以给出无数的例子，但这就足够了。雷锋生活简朴，一生致力于做好事不求任何回报，帮助各行各业的人们，然而他被公认为是我们这个时代最成功的英雄。
一般来说，我认为我们不应该做好事的时候期待回报。我们这样做是为了享受，满足精神升华，不是为了回报。
