How
do you feel about being rich? Having lots of money is absolutely not a bad thing.
Just imagine all the wonderful things you can buy. But there is a
popular saying that money can’t buy happiness. Of course the idea
is hard to understand for the average person. Well, one successful
businessman is proving that
being happy is truly about giving. He is
the famous entrepreneur, Bill Gates of Microsoft.
Just
as famous as the founder of Apple, Bill Gates
is well known as the man behind Microsoft. He is a pioneer in the computer industry.
His wealth is estimated to be
about $65 billion. Yes folks, he is a multi-billionaire!
And, he is one of the richest people in the world.
Sometime ago, Bill Gates set up a foundation to provide help
to those in need. Recently Bill Gates announced that he wishes
to give more to the world that made him successful. His goal is to
give $1.8 billion in the next six years. He hopes to use the money
to extend the lives of those suffering frompoliomyelitis. It is a deadly
virus that takes countless lives every year.
“I am well taken care of. I have food and clothes. Money has not
much meaning to me at this point. I wish the money can be used to
help the poor and sick,” Bill Gates told the Telegraph in London.
If you think his latest decision is something big,
let’s look at his past record.
Bill and his wife Melinda have so far donated $28 billion of their
wealth through their foundation. More than $8billion of the money
was spent to improve global health! Bill
Gates is man with a wealth that is at a cosmic level. But he says
that he too will age and leave this world at one point. He is now
in the process of spending all that money to help those less fortunate than himself!
