I am happy to hear
that billionaires like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet have committed to giving
the majority of their wealth to charity.
They are helping to solve huge problems in our society and their money
is being put to good use. There was a
nice story in Fortune
Magazine about Warren Buffet's grandson Howard W. Buffett and Grand Nephew
Alex Rozek who are carrying on this tradition.
They founded the non-profit Learning by Giving Foundation
which has what they call a massive open online class which then funds the best
ideas developed during the class. It's
great to see this younger generation picking up philanthropic habits. "Why do anything other than work to make
the world a better place, especially with the amazing benefits we've been
given?" Buffett told Fortune. I
agree.
