Choices in Life.

Another thing that comes in my mind about Gates and Buffet's charity efforts. Which one is better?
You work all your life, make tons of money and then use your money to make a major impact like what Gates foundation is doing in terms of vaccination and desease prevention.
OR
You dedicate your whole life into charitable work and humanitarian assistance and do your best to make a difference in small little segments to make this world a better place?
Which one is better? Did Gates and Buffet go into business world with a goal, thinking that when they reach that goal, they'll help the needy? or were they just another money and success hungry people who just got lucky and then decided they should do something good now?
Do people who stay charitable and dedicate their whole life in social work, do they ever dream of making it big and succesfull like Gates and Buffet so they can make a real difference in the lives of millions or do they stay content with just improving lives of a handful? do they regret their choices in life?
