Perspicacious Philanthropy


Two CEOs discuss cash problems...
Steve: People are on to me to give away my wealth.
Bill: Make sure you give it away to good causes.
Steve: Doesn’t sound easy.
Bill: It’s a full time job, giving away money.
_____________
Voice-over
Steve designed clever products and accumulated megawealth.
Bill cleverly accumulated heaps of money, even more megawealth, then set about the hard job of giving it away wisely.
Steve ran out of time.

They have a problem most of us don’t have: too much wealth to give away. And how to be a perspicacious philanthropist.
For them, it was easy to get, hard to get rid of.
For the rest of us, it’s hard to get, easy to get rid of.

I'm grateful to Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. Because if they didn't develop software and hardware, I can't use those devices now. Moreover, I respect them. Both of them faced big problems, but they didn't give up. Their way of life is very cool.

Although I knew that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are famous people, I didn't know about their life well.
So this movie was interesting to me.

I was surprised that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates have been born in same year.
Moreover I didn't know Apple and Microsoft have faced trouble.

I think again that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are important persons in computer business.

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the greatest innovator I've ever known.
They both have something in common. They loved computers.
And I can't imagine my life without these technologies such as computers and smartphones.

I have used Apple's products regularly. So I have been indebted very much.
They quit college to start business. And they left company once. I felt serious decision is needed to challenge new things.

I already know the name of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, but I didn't know about their lives and about their company's problems.

I use iPhone and Windows' computer. So I think they are very important people in our lives.

Strong point is it had graphic user interface. Weak point is it was under powered and had little software.

It was interesting movie for me because I'm interested in Apple and Microsoft history.

I was surprised the fact that Apple had a management problems and Steve Jobs was pushed over from Apple.

i think there was a lot of efforts of Steve when he returned to Apple.
So I respect him.
