Making It Big.....be SELF MADE

Till today, I had always believed people like Bill Gates, Lakshmi Mittal, Dhirubhai Ambani are of one off cases who made it big from Ground Zero. I had always thought that inheritance had to play big role in making it big. I had never dreamed of making it to the Forbes list.....never ever...though I've always dreamed to make it big.....he he

But somehow, donno why...I decided to check the biographies of the Top 55 in Forbes List of Billionaires and guess what....at least 40 of them are self made and 10 had inherited small amounts but since then have grown.I'm amazed by the fact most of them came from mediocre or poor families....And this instilled a strange kind of self confidence that i can do it...I can and will realize my dreams.

Maybe all they had..was a vision..a dream...and I've the same....and the thirst to serve humanity.
Bill Gates had promised "a computer on every desk and in every home" and he has done this. I don't think he much values him being at top of the Rich List.Had it mattered he wouldn't have started the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and given a fourth of his assets as donation to the warren Buffet Foundation.
The world no.2 Warren Buffet and no.3 Carlos Slim Helu have also taken up serious efforts to serve humanity by their foundations and very very generous donations.
I have learnt one thing.....its not I'm "over-ambitious" if I say I wanna make it to Forbes List. But to achieve this I need not love money, I need to care about human kind and humanity. No doubt they had amazing business sense, financial planning and management, but what helped them to make them what they are is their morals. They have always stuck to their morals, may not be in their business commitments but for sure towards humanity.

All these facts are gonna have an impact on my character,my behavior.
I can't say in which all respects i will change...but I sure will change...



One more strange thing I noticed....In the Top 55, most (more than 40) had three children. I guess why??? I'm really freaked out by this fact....and somehow I don't wanna accept it as coincidence. I surely feel there is some kinda relation.....hehe...Anyways, thats later...so aint worrying about it.
