Your Inspiration in Tough Times: Nouveau Riche
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...Today’s recession causes hardships to almost all of us. Inspirations, let alone resources, are difficult to come by. Why? Because we all focus on the problems, not on the solutions.
Here is one to inspire you: the rags to riches, or Noveau Riche stories.
Noveau Riche
Nouveau riche - a French term for ‘new rich’ - is referring to the group of people that are THE wealthy people of their generations, usually rises from poverty.
Their success stories are inspiring to me, because most of them start with nothing and be something - or shall I say - own everything.
One example from this Noveau Riche article is the life of William Gates III, or well known as Bill Gates of Microsoft.
Bill Gates is a Harvard drop-out that, along with Paul Allen, founded Microsoft. Today, he is the third richest person in the world (The richest American) and a Non-Executive Chairman of Microsoft, as well as, along with his wife, the founder of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Do you want to be rich?
“Do you want to be rich?” I do - I want to use my money for greater purposes. I keen on what Bill and Melinda Gates did, and if I have the opportunity, I’d exactly do what they did with their foundation.
But some don’t want to be rich.
