Making money is easy for many but giving it away is the hardest part.

Folks, recently, Bill Gates started a foundation for billionaires to pledge their riches to charity and it has been catching on will many billionaires participating in this charitydrive. It is reported that more than 50% of the world's wealth is in the hands of 5% of the population and these are the super fithy rich people. Money is not everything but it definitely help if it is used properly. If you are able to give, it is a joy and a blessing. Too much of everything is a waste and the value of possessing it depreciated sharply.  Like a double edge knife, it can create and destory, it can be wasteful or productive and it can be a blessing and a curse.
 
For the good of the next generations and the generations to come and your children, don't leave too much to your children if you want them to be successful and strong. Leave them just enough or keep them hungry a little to fire up their character building and a strong mind. 
 
Namaste.
 
There are lesson and messages from the billionaire quotes and these message come from their wisdom and from their depth of their heart.
