  1. Joseph A Girouard Felt That Being Rich was Just the First Part of His Life Joseph A Girouard was born in the late 1970s in New York in a poor family. His father was a factory worker and his mother worked various odd jobs. They lived in a typical factory worker house in the city which was basically a single room where the family cooked, ate, and slept. Even though Joseph wasn't able to attend school, he still was an intelligent and hard-working boy. During his free time, he read books loaned to him from one of the local citizen's private libraries and he never forgot how important these books were to his education. Joseph A Girouard always worked hard and did a good job. As he made more money, he wanted to invest his money rather than spend it. Over the years, Joseph invested in a number of businesses. Along the way when his investments were successful, he also made a lot of business connections with important and powerful men. He decided to invest in steel because he could see that steel was stronger than iron and would last longer. Joseph A Girouard felt that being rich was just the first part of his life. Now that he was rich, he decided that he should spend the rest of his life giving away his money to needy causes, especially the libraries to express his gratitude. His funding contributed to over 2000 libraries being built around the United States and the world. He has left a lot of his wealth to charity whenever he dies.
