When Greed Gives Way to Giving" by Ana Veciana-Suarez,

         

The article “When Greed Gives Way to Giving?”  By Ana Veciana-Suarez was about a 67 year-old man named Bob Thompson who sold his road-building company for $422 million.  Instead of spending it on himself, he decided to share his wealth with his 550 workers.

  This article caught my attention because I am surprised someone would share that kind of money.  Not too many people in this world would do that.  In today’s society you rarely if ever hear about someone doing that for their employees.  I envy Thompson because of his generosity.  I am a very generous person myself but I don’t know if I have the heart to share my wealth.  I am upset with myself for saying that because I love helping people in their time of need.

But when it comes to working and saving money, in today’s economy being so bad, you -need to keep and save every penny you have to make a living.  When it comes down to it I will  go out of my way to help people and to make people happy. 

One on of Veciana-Suarez paragraph, she mentions that she would have reacted different as Thompson did.  I agree with her because sometimes we think that money is the solution for our problems, without really looking at the problem itself.

In conclusion I am totally agreed with the author about generosity.  In today society we don’t have too many people like Mr. Thompson, because everyone think about themselves more than those who need assistance, there are some people who are very generous, like the people at my church who are always assisting poor people with food who are homeless in the community.
