Mr Gates was in the news this past weekend for announcing his retirement and take up humanitarian and charity work. On the positive note, I think it is great that Mr Gates is doing so. But in my mind I cant help remember tales of Andrew Carnegie and a man named Rockefeller.

Like Mr Gates, Andrew Carnegie was the richest man in the World at one point. I find it puzzling the things men do to get the top of World and then in the end do just the opposite. The stories of these men are interesting. I am not sure what ethics and morals are in Bill's heart and soul these days, but his intentions are good, so I wish him all the best with his new endeavors.
