Bill Gates stepping down

I'm back from doing an MDM strategy in Saudi Arabia and trying to catch up on everything. So, Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, is stepping down in 2008 from his Microsoft post. Well, it's not like he has more to accomplish. Though he didn't start with rags, the riches he has achieved is beyond belief. He was the right person doing the right thing at the right time. What a journey!

I hope this is just the beginning of a second, more important, calling for Bill and Melinda. The Gates philanthropic endeavors are legendary, supporting world needs and making a difference in the lives of the sick and impoverished, especially in Africa, which desperately needs the world's help.

If somebody has to be the richest man in the world, I am certainly glad it's Bill Gates.
