A good dad is better than a rich dad

Chapter 28 6 Focus on Charity and Honor it

Who is the richest person in the world?Bill Gates is probably the first thing we think of. "I'm going to spend every penny I earn and not waste a penny." How did he spend it?That is to focus on charity.

To date, he has donated more than $290 billion to charitable causes.When celebrating his 50th birthday, Gates announced on the spot that he donated all the wealth of his private foundation to the society.

What is commendable is that Gates' wife Melinda is also very supportive of her husband's charitable deeds.They jointly established the "Bill and Melinda Foundation", which has become the largest charitable foundation in the world. It funds medical scientists to start research on the treatment of AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, cancer and other diseases, and to develop in Africa and Asia. The Chinese state donates heavily; creates more middle schools for children from disadvantaged families, and sponsors poor college students; and strives to make information available on the Internet for all people, regardless of race, gender, age, or wealth , to expand the popularity of the Internet; for Gates' hometown, the foundation takes special care of the local people living in difficulties.

It is conceivable that those who share the wealth of the world's richest man are those who live in poverty, the sick, children, the elderly and those who do not yet have access to the Internet.With the power of one person, he changed the fate of the vast majority of poor people on the earth. The "cold-faced killer" in the mall is a very caring person in life. As his children, he will definitely feel the same. pride.Gates' children all know that their father will not leave their property to them, and they must rely on themselves, which makes them more confident.

There are many celebrities who also pay attention to charity. Jackie Chan established the "Jackie Chan Charity Foundation" in 1988, Jet Li officially launched the "One Foundation" in 08, Pu Cunxin became the first "AIDS propagandist" in China, Li Ka-shing's "Li Ka-shing Foundation" ", the Shaw Building donated by Run Run Shaw, etc. Everyone has different abilities, but the concern for charity is equally precious.

Not every dad has the ability to set up a foundation named after himself, but every dad can use his ability in social charity activities.Take the donations after the earthquake as an example. Countless fathers have set a good example for their children, donating money and materials, donating blood, etc., so that the children can feel the love of their fathers.

Charity is more than just supporting dedicated charities, there are many opportunities in our lives for dads to show their love.Giving up seats on the bus to the elderly, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant, giving change to beggars on the side of the road, helping older neighbors carry gas, etc. The meaning of these behaviors is definitely not just to let the children feel the love of their father. It is also something that must be done to cultivate a child with social morality and social responsibility.

Many people say why some children can consciously abide by social rules and regulations, such as queuing, courteousness, environmental protection, etc., but some children are naturally unwilling to listen. This is actually because children do not know enough about society and their parents do not do enough.Dad's act of caring about charity is also an act of integrating a small family into a big social family, which is equivalent to closely linking the family and society together.When a child realizes that his home and the family of the society are together, he will still insist on the principles he understands at home, and he will still insist on outside occasions. He has love for his family and people in society. Sincerely.

When the child sees that his father can not only take care of himself, but also try his best to take care of others, the majesty and tallness of the father goes without saying.
