He lived
for a long time, in the USA. He began as an ordinary worker, gradually climbing
the pyramid, until he acquired not only this, but also the shares of most other
giant companies.
He became
one of the richest people in space and time.
After his
death, in a drawer of his desk they found a motto, drawn up by him in his
youth, in which he wrote that he would spend half of his life on accumulating
wealth, and the second on charity.
Foundations
and buildings are named in his honor. His name is heard by every inhabitant of
the earth.
But I will
allow myself not to mention his name.
I will do
it differently, I will tell you the names of several people who lived or live
according to the same principle, and whom I respect very much:
Andrew
Carnegie; Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Jeff Bezos; Mark Zuckerberg.
I would go
on, but these names are enough. I found out about their charity by chance,
either in an article or via YouTube.
Probably,
if the Middle Ages were in the yard, everyone would be canonized during his
lifetime. But in our time, for example, I, an ordinary person, are touched to
the depths of my soul, and on behalf of the rest of humanity, I want to thank
and wish long life to all of them, and the blessed memory of Andrew Carnegie is
already a fait accompli.
Today is a
new year in my homeland, according to the old calendar. But we celebrate it
just like the usual one.
I want to
wish these people a Happy New Year, and wish them long lives.
