“Success is fun and fulfillment”
Courtesy: Michael Dell
Considering what Mr. Dell said, According to me Mr. Warren Buffet is a paragon of success. He had enough “fun” accumulating astounding sum of $45 billion and an exponentially increasing “fulfillment” by donating almost all. His subtle charity act amounts to donating one’s heart when one is still alive. What Mr. Buffet has done is refurbished by the fact that it has been done with unmatched panache and an honest sacrifice. He would have quite comfortably instigated his own charity organization, but the reticent man preferred to implement his immaculate business skills in a zero profit business and prevented the flow of money in establishing the infrastructure from the embryonic stage.
Quite interestingly whenever somebody pens down unimaginative charity act, we Indians misses out the mention even in the closing lines. Do you know why? We don’t deserve to be mentioned. It is pitiful to hear that distant neighbors come to our help and we are heedless of charity at home. Such an economic imbalance in society triggers crime and corruption. Quoting our president which is very rightly construed by him “when it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr. clean to come and do miracles for us. “I won’t agree that we aren’t self sufficient to do so. We too have the clique of millionaires, but what to expect of “charity at home” from those who are themselves victim of “disparity at home”. The best thing about charity is that it does not come from the riches you possess rather from the heart. We must question our conscience how big heartedly we ever donated in helpage India, an organization for old age. I remember I sweated whole day long in my colony to manage a meager sum of 50 rupees. How could one expect a donation from a person who fights out a rickshaw puller for a rupee coin! He is a common man.
Once again we must not just appreciate Mr. Buffet for what he has done and then sit back on our couch waiting for someone else to follow him. We must understand our moral responsibility towards our fellow citizens. Every body should do their bit of charity and we would be able to educate the deprived ones. Even millions are made from pennies you just have to unite them.
