A Perspective on Bill Gates and Microsoft

Bill Gates isn't exactly popular with many people. In fact, a lot of people hate him. Maybe you are one of them.

That's a shame. Bill Gates does not deserve to be hated. He's incredibly generous and giving. He has a foundation, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, spends 1.5 billion per year - all on charitable causes. That number is so big it is hard to even imagine.

In fact, Bill Gates has now dedicated himself to charitable work through his foundation full time. He retired from Microsoft in order to do this. Surprisingly, some people still think he's an asshole. These people are generally the type who are jealous and bitter and negative about anyone else's success.

Now, no way is Microsoft the perfect company. But the perfect company doesn't exist! Microsoft is a lot less evil than many companies in corporate America.

Bill Gates has been a tremendous success, and is very generous. There is no reason to have any feelings toward the man other than respect, and to admire what he has built from nothing with Microsoft.

Let's be realists here. You can't give to others if you have nothing. If Bill Gates had not started out taking, he would have had nothing to give. Who would have benefited if he had been humble instead of ambitious? Nobody.

Bill Gates was smart enough to get that. He is a brilliant man, and he built a corporation so impressive that he could then become a real force for change in the world. Instead of sitting around complaining about how he has all this money, maybe ask yourself what you are doing to make the world a better place.

Bill Gates is busy every day, fighting world hunger, giving money for AIDS research, just generally being an amazing person who is trying to help everyone.

You only hurt yourself when you resent others' successes. If you believe that rich people get rich because they are greedy and crooked, what does that say about your chances of becoming wealthy? If you think you are a good person, and rich people are bad people, you aren't likely to become rich
