It is said that Bill Gates, together with his wife, while inspecting in South Africa, prepared to donate 9o% of his assets to those poor South Africans struggling on the poverty line, leaving only 5oo million dollars for his children. Some people did not understand, worrying that he would do this: 'Your only daughter will complain about you.'

Bill Gates faced people's doubtful gazes, and only lightly said: 'They will understand. Without our wealth, they will know better how to strive and live.'

Similarly, he is a Westerner, the miser Grandet in Balzac's works, loved money as his life. For money, he disregarded friendship and family, on his deathbed, Deng lets people bring the gold bars he had accumulated during his lifetime to the front, letting him gaze at these gold bars, and dreaming of a gold dream.

The miser Grandet, amidst a chorus of curses from relatives and friends, walked away with empty hands. In his lifetime he exhausted a huge amount of money, not even a single cent could be taken with him.

Alexander the Great, his life can be said to have commanded the winds and clouds, his fame exhausted. His wealth was countless times that of Bill Gates and Grandet. He had conquered Europe, Asia, and Africa, three continents; almost the Earth's wealth, land, and people all belonged to him.

When he was on his deathbed and about to pass away, people dug two holes in his coffin; after his death, his hands remained outside the coffin.

Alexander wanted to take all the wealth in the world, including the land and people he had conquered. The result? He still walked away with empty hands.

I think Alexander's leaving his hands outside the coffin after death signifies this: during life he possessed all the wealth in the world; after death he walked away with empty hands, a blank slate.

Bill Gates perhaps knew Alexander's story, donating his lifetime savings to those struggling on the poverty line—what a wise choice, what a noble soul, what a great spirit.

Bill Gates, everyone in the world hopes your promise can be fulfilled.
