Bill Gates is the richest man in the world. Someone asked Bill Gates, "Is there anyone richer than you in the world?" Bill Gates said, "Yes, there is a person who is richer than me." Then he told a story. It was a time when he was neither rich nor famous. One day I was at the airport in New York. Then I saw a newspaper vendor. I wanted to buy a newspaper from him. But I had no money then. So I gave up the idea of ​​buying newspapers and returned them to the vendor.

I told him that I did not have enough money. The seller said, "I'll give it to you for free." I took the newspaper at his request. Coincidentally, two or three months later I landed at the same airport again and even that day I did not have any change to buy the newspaper. The seller again offered me the newspaper for free. I refused and he said that I could not accept it because I still do not have enough money. He said, "You can take the paper, I will divide it from my profits." I took the newspaper.

After about 19 years, I became famous and known to people. Suddenly I remembered the newspaper seller. I started looking for him and after about a month and a half of searching, I found him. I asked him, “Do you know me?” He said, “Yes, you are Bill Gates.” I asked him again, “Do you remember? Did you give me a newspaper for free?”

The salesman said, "Yes, I remember." "I gave you a newspaper twice. I said, 'I want to repay you for the help you gave me then. Tell me what you want in your life and I will fulfill it.''

The salesman said, "Sir, how do you think you can match my help by doing this?" I asked, "But why?" He said, "I helped you when I was a poor newspaper seller and you are trying to help me when you became the richest man in the world." So how does your help match mine?

Bill Gates said: "That day I realized that the newspaper seller was richer than me." Because he didn't wait to become rich to help someone. We must understand that the truly rich are those who have a richer mind than a lot of money. Having an expensive mind is more necessary than a lot of money.
