The Warren Buffet Perspective

Warren Buffett stated "My gift is nothing. I can have everything I need with less than one percent of my wealth. I was born in the right country at the right time, and my work is disproportionately rewarded compared to teachers and soldiers. I'm just giving back surplus claims that have no value to me but can do a lot for others. The people I really admire are the small donors who give up a movie or a restaurant meal to help needier people. (Expert for Giving by Bill Clinton)

Having donated 30 billion to the Gates Foundation, Warren Buffett has truly improved the lives of many others. I feel it is so important to keep the right perspective. Mr. Buffett is a great example.
