The person that I admire most

CONTRIBUTION TO CEO TALKS, LIANHE ZAOBAO

I admire Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft.

After making many billions of dollars, he and his wife decided to donate most of their wealth to charity. They set up a foundation.

The foundation is generous in giving money for worthy causes, to improve the health and lives of millions of poor people around the world.

They decide to distribute their wealth during their lifetime, and not after they have passed away.

They take another step, that is not widely known. They insist that the donee organisations provide an external audit on how their donation is being spent. This ensures that the money is used mainly to benefit the beneficiaries and are not being wasted away.

Wow. Isn't it great?
