When a Furniture Store Kid Shaped Modern Philanthropy
Warren Buffett doesn't hand out compliments lightly. Yet he called this book "a gift to us all." Why would the Oracle of Omaha say that about a memoir from Bill Gates Sr., a Seattle lawyer most people have never heard of? Because buried in these pages is something rare: a blueprint for how ordinary acts of presence compound into extraordinary impact. While his son revolutionized how we use computers, Gates Sr. quietly revolutionized how we think about giving - helping build the world's largest private foundation not through flashy gestures but through a lifetime of simply showing up. The question isn't whether you have billions to give. It's whether you're willing to be consistently present for what matters.
