He then decided

Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor. (Proverbs 22:9 ESV)

 The very first person to reach the status of billionaire was business magnate John D. Rockefeller (1839–1937). But at the age of 53, he became ill, his physicians predicted he would die within a year.
 One night, he lay awake thinking about his life and accomplishments and pondering the fact that he would not be able to take any of his successes with him into the next world. He then decided to focus the time he had left on giving away the bulk of his wealth to hospitals, schools, and mission work.
 But perhaps the most amazing part of Rockefeller’s story is that as he gave back, his health was astonishingly altered. While it had looked as if he would die at 53, he actually lived to be 97. He was a man who knew how to set goals and reach them, but it was when he committed his life to kindness and generosity that he found happiness in his true calling.
 While you and I may not have billions or millions to donate to causes or to share with those in need, we can learn from Rockefeller’s lessons and find peace and joy in doing our part to be generous with our resources and time to make a difference. —Ronan Keane [1]

 Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you. —Mother Teresa (1910–1997)
