GIVING

In addition to whatever assets life has nurtured in me, I have a disproportionate amount of money to share.

Giving away wealth is not sacrifice. It is the most productive investment you can make in the future.

I had one idea that never changed in my mind — that you should use your wealth to help people.

I cannot think of a more personally rewarding and appropriate use of wealth than to give while you can.

Giving back is not something you do after you have made your money. It is something you do while you are making it.

If you have more than you need, you have a responsibility to share it. It is not a choice. It is an obligation.

I have been given a tremendous gift — the opportunity to use the resources I have to tackle the world's most pressing issues before it's too late.

The accumulation of wealth is not an end in itself. It is a means to an end. And the end should be more than your own comfort.

The Rs 10,000 I gave my husband was not an investment. It was faith in a dream. The returns came to India, not to me.

We have always known that our lives have been blessed by God beyond anything we deserved. As custodians of what He has provided, we are called to share our resources with those around us who lack the same resources.

What Zoe and I have been very much focused on is making sure the money goes to those projects and charities who have a model which is proven, where there are going to be multipliers accrued from the donations.

Wealth that is not shared has little meaning. I would rather it educate the next generation.
