"Both of us were fortunate to grow up with parents
who taught us some tremendously important values.
Work hard. Show respect. Have a sense of humor.
And if life happens to bless you with talent or treasure,
you have a responsibility to use those gifts as well
and as wisely as you possibly can."
-Bill and Melinda Gates

easy to say when you're sittin on top of a couple billion...
To quote the article I found it from "Words to live by, even if life hasn't blessed you with billions."
I tend to agree with him.

The test of a true Christian (or any practitioner of any value based living) - whether or not you share what you are blessed with, be it large or small!!! My experience has shown me the rich guys many times have a harder time sharing than we poorer ones... AND 'really' - good for the Gates' - they are doing great good in the world...
Hey Anne - why don't you go to work for them??
oh and - a couple billion - try $54 billion.....
