LITTLE ROCK - Media mogul and CNN founder Ted Turner told a roomful of fellow philanthropists on Monday to 'give until it hurts' but said they should keep some extra cash on hand - or, at least what he considers spare change.

'Keep a few hundred million at least, because you never know,' Turner told a crowd of about 300 people at the Clinton Presidential Library. 'Things could get really tough.'"

Hi,

I often find it is a better motivator to ask people to "give until it feels good." What are other people's experience?
