This book is inspirational.
I was excited to read about Bill Gates Sr.’s life and how he talks about things that matter most in his life.
The short chapters in the book are filled with wisdom. I was fascinated by his humble approach to life and how for him the family was the most important thing. All the care and devotion to not only family activities but also to giving back, being well rounded, and working hard all have influenced me to add to my own families life.
The concept of local neighbours evolved into a global neighbourhood for his philanthropic work through his foundation and other civic organisations. This reminded me of the importance of volunteering, really caring for those around the world, and having a positive impact.
Having lived in East Africa, I understood the importance of charity as well as how grateful we all should be for our life. Reading this book rejuvenated my spirit on how much thought, planning, and action goes in maximising the benefit to empower citizens around the world to be healthy and able to live a good life.
