Bill Gates isn’t exactly the most popular man in America. In fact, a lot of people hate him. Are you a Bill Gates hater?
If you are, you might want to rethink that position. Bill Gates is a very generous man and does great things in the world. Do you know how much money his foundation, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, donates to different causes every year? Try 1.5 billion dollars. You have to admit, that is a number that boggles the mind. That is how much he gives away, every single year.
He’s so dedicated to charity, and to working to make the world a better place, he retired from Microsoft to have time to work at this full time. People still think he’s an asshole for some reason. The type of people who think bad things about Bill Gates tend to be unsuccessful and negative and bitter.
Before we point the finger at Microsoft, let’s be honest. Microsoft isn’t perfect. Still, it’s not nearly so evil as a lot of other companies in corporate America.
Personally I have nothing but respect for Bill Gates and also for Microsoft. It is amazing that he started this company and built it up from nothing to become the huge successful entity that it is.
Before we all get on our high horses, let’s be real. You can’t give to others if you have nothing yourself. If he had been all humble and had kept Microsoft small, the world would have been the poorer for this.
Mr. Gates is a smart guy, and knew that to achieve his aims he had to become a success. He became someone who could make a real difference. If you are sitting around complaining about Bill Gates and all of his riches, stop for a minute and think. He does a lot of good in the world. How much good are you doing on a regular basis?
Do you contribute to AIDS research?
Work to reduce world hunger?
Bill Gates does. He dedicates his life to making the lives of others better.
What Do You Need a Temperature Probe For?
There’s no point in resenting other people’s successes. This just deprives you. You likely think that you are a good person, right? Well, if you believe that rich people got that way because they are greedy or evil, and believe that you are good, how does that fit together with you becoming wealthy some day? Answer: it doesn’t.
