1st part made me really think of Elon Musk. That guy is definitely focused on solving some big problems.
I found that there is this problem tho that if from childhood you are focused on money and everyone around you is telling you that IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, it becomes really hard to switch attention on actually helping people.
For me, I know things I should do, but greed inside me often can distracts me. You know what I mean....? :p
