There is a persistent stereotype among the people that all children of the rich grow up morally flawed since they don’t know refusal since childhood even in the slightest whims. Therefore, over time they turn into that notorious “golden youth” who easily breaks the law, violates all sorts of moral principles (not to mention spiritual laws) and even often goes to crimes because he feels their impunity.
Maybe some wealthy people are really too much pamper their offspring, thereby spoiling them, but here is a famous American entrepreneur Bill Gates does not belong to such fools. One of the richest people on the planet whose fortune valued at $ 87 billion, brings up heirs in extreme rigor, and some parental principles of the founder Microsoft Corporation would probably surprise many children, even from simple families.

So, the youngest daughter Gates only recently bought the first smartphone, and quite inexpensive gadget, which in America does not brag to classmates.
“My wife and I held a family council and came to the conclusion that the first each of our children’s mobile phones should appear no earlier 14 years old, “the American told reporters.

Perhaps bill like no other aware of all the dangers that are held for fragile minds modern technologies in the development of which he took direct participation. Such an example could be followed many current parents, from an early age giving their children to parenting smartphones, tablets and the Internet.

Businessman obsessed with charity, on which has already donated more than $ 30 billion. All his the current state the philanthropist also bequeathed after death needy. His daughters and son will receive only a small amount and spend this money on education.
“A large inheritance is a disservice to man,” said a few years ago bill. And his words resonate so well with ancient wisdom: money not earned by one’s own labor (not not to mention stolen) have never brought anyone happiness.
If everyone living on Earth understood this …
