Who is richer than Bill Gates?

Someone asked Bill Gates, "Is there any person richer than you?"

He said, "Yes, only one".

Many years ago, I had been dismissal and I had gone to New York airport. I read titles of newspapers there. I liked one of them and I want to buy it. But I didn't have change (coin). I abandoned, suddenly, a boy called me and told, “This newspaper for you.”

I said, but I don’t have change.

He said, “No problem, I give you free”.

After 3 months, I went there. Coincidentally, that story happened again and that same boy gave another free newspaper again.

I said, I can’t accept.

But he said, “I give you from my profit.”

After 19 years, I had been rich and I decided to find that boy. I found him after one and half months searching.

I asked him, do you know me?

He said, “Yes, you’re famous Bill Gates.”

I said, you gave me free newspaper in 2 times many years ago. Now, I want to compensate it. I am going to give you everything that you want.

Black young man replied, “You can’t compensate it!”

I said, "why?"

He said, "Because I gave you when I was poor. You want to give me when you are rich. So, how do you compensate?"

Bill Gates said, I think that young man is richer than me.

You don't have to be rich or wait to be rich to give.

Sort:  

only a small number of people start their lives with the best conditions for success. The rest of us are thrown into the deep and hectic ocean we call life. Does everyone have the best conditions? Certainly not. In fact, we cannot decide about the external factors of our lives.

But we all have the opportunity to take what we have and make the best out of it. Instead of lamenting about our difficult situation we need to redirect our attention towards solutions on how we can make the best out of it.
