A few days ago, Microsoft announced the retirement plan of its founder Bill Gates. Bill Gates will withdraw from the Microsoft board of directors and devote himself to public welfare.
” I have to focus on my own time “
For most people, retirement means freedom.
In the first half of the life of wealth, status, family, and career, it was indisputable and calm after retirement.
Just like the salmon going upstream, he went up against the current for the rest of his life, crossed the mountains, and after completing the mission of breeding heirs, he looked for a calm place, enjoyed a moment of tranquility, and died.
Gates is not the first rich man to re-enter another career after retirement. In fact, Most billionaires have no choice to “dead calmly” after retirement.
Many billionaire managers have billions of assets and run companies with tens of thousands of people. They have long realized the so-called financial freedom, but they still read reports day after day and hold regular meetings, all over the world Flying around to participate in public affairs. It is their professional inertia and certain obsession with more ambitious things that make them happy to solve one social problem after another.
I ca n’t help but think of the very different actions that the rich have made because of their different wealth status, refreshing my poor imagination time and time again.
