Somehow we have the charm and sometimes contempt for the richest people in our society. To be sure, they are the people who get a lot of attention in the tabloids and television talk shows. And paparazzi love them. But at the same time, we disposed to look down on them. We assume that they’re spoiled, maybe get their wealth in ways that are immoral and that they can not understand the day to day struggle that the “common people” through every day.
But there is another side of life styles of the most fortunate in society and that they are philanthropic and community service work they do. There is no question that the rich have an uncanny ability to generate revenue and build strong business and success. But it seems that once people reach a certain level of richness, the urge to take over to give to the community and provide a means for some community service really great work to be done.
There is a long precedent in the country for those who reach the highest level of success to turn around success and put it back into the community. One of the major benefactors of the American business community David Packard, co-founder of Hewlett Packard. Throughout his career, he never let the trap of wealth to influence the lifestyle or values. So when he reached a great success, he turned right around and started David and Lucile Packard Foundation. This community service organization is going to use the endowment fund the extraordinary David Packard is passed into his will to fund dozens of worthy community service projects, including kindergartens, community centers, health care for children and hospitals of children.
A more up to date examples of the very rich and successful businessman turned community service that wealth Bill Gates, the entrepreneur who built Microsoft. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gives millions to dozens of projects that are feasible set to help relieve the suffering of those who become victims of global poverty and disease and to find ways to encourage global development to help end poverty once and for all.
Seeing this charitable work outside, you might think that the wealthy of our society to do something like this to write off taxes or because they feel guilty for everything they take from society. And sure, there is no doubt part of the working class out of their motivation. However, a higher motivation often is what motivates the rich to want to do their part.
In some cases, such as Bill Gates, their wealth has come to know that is a byproduct of their brilliant work with their business. They never set to become wealthy but the market rewarded them for innovation, invention or superior business skills. These individuals are like you and I in them off in life to become successful as they can. And just like you and me, a lot of rich people know that to be successful in life means more than just your bank account or how new your car.
So with the blessings of their success has given them to help others, the rich get a different satisfaction from life rather than just luxury and live well. They are learning what many of us already know that to achieve true satisfaction in life, you should seek the help of others. With the fall of their homes and find ways to help others in society, the rich found that people who get the most out of public services is the giver. We are lucky benefactors like to use their wealth to help others. But they have learned that our gratitude is not a gift. They have learned that the way to actually get richer is to enjoy a richer life, and that there is no experience in life richer than the joy of helping others through community service.
