My hero is Warren E. Buffett, a smart man who has made a lot of money. He lives in Nebraska Omaha USA, in his old house. Buffett is called “God of the stock market in Wall Street” because of his talent in investment. He seizes every chance to buy stocks so he has made 40 billion dollars in 30 years. That’s very amazing!

However, he donated 85% of his fortune to five charities in June this year. That’s a good deed which has earned him a lot of admiration. Most of the donations go to Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which sponsors global medical treatments and American education. And Buffett’s donation is the largest subscription to charities in history.

I think a person who offers something to the society and helps the poor can make his /her life more meaningful. I believe that if all people can help others, the world will be much better.

So when I heard about what Buffett has done, I decided to do my best to help others in daily life. Every time I see people in trouble, I will think of Buffett and lend them a helping hand. Helping others lets me feel very happy.

I would like to be a business hero and an angel hero. I want to make money so that I can use the money to help people in need as Buffett does. Although I can’t make such a positive impact on the society as Buffett can, I want to make the world better with might and main.
