Last month, Bill Gates announced that he will do what Carnegie recommended: in two years, he will change his priorities so that he can work full time for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which he and his wife founded. Even earlier than Carnegie, who quit at 65, Gates will devote his life to spending his huge fortune on philanthropy.
上个月，盖茨宣布他将实践卡内基的建议，也就是说，他将在两年内改变他的工作重点，这样就可以为他和他的夫人创办的比尔和梅林达·盖茨基金会全职工作。卡内基65岁退休，而盖茨则比他还要早，将他的生命贡献给把他的巨大财富用于慈善事业。
