Be a green billionaire?

I remember someone once said, ‘If you aim for the stars, at least you will get to the moon.' Think big. Dream Big! Different people have different dreams. Follow your dreams, and then the money will come.

Being a billionaire is not only about money. You might think – yeah right…. This is definitely cow manure. But I am absolutely 100% completely serious about this!!

You absolutely cannot become a billionaire without thinking or enriching others. The journey of becoming a millionaire or a billionaire is not only about money. It’s a journey becoming a bigger person. What is the definition of a billionaire or a millionaire (other than having tons of money)? Big house? No. Nice clothes? Wrong. Imagine that when you become a billionaire, what will you do when you get up in the morning? It definitely will not be your nice house or nice clothes or what’s for breakfast? You have bigger things that drive you. You have bigger questions to answer. You and I will take the responsibility to help people by creating jobs (Bill Gates), creating opportunities, creating housing for others, spreading ideas and thoughts (Oprah) and simply creating a better world.

Billionaires and millionaires have the mental capacity to think for others. It’s not about survival anymore. It’s about how can I help others to get out of their survival mode?
Have you heard of the theory of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs? The last 2 nights I got the chance to learn about green design and it was absolutely fantastic. This experience not only inspires me about ‘going green’, but I also realize the idea of ‘green’ is an actualization – We (as human being) need to understand the impact of global warming and realize we are all responsible for making our planet better.

But guess what? There are MANY people in this world is not mentally capable to get to this actualization because billions of people are still in starvation, a billion of people are still sick (level 2) and millions are people are still at war (level 2) in many countries.

As billionaires, we absolutely have the responsibility not only enriching others, but helping others to live.
