After watching Bill Gates' documentary, he mainly talked about his three charity projects in recent years: toilet revolution, eradication of polio, and improvement of nuclear power plants.
And the big feeling is that "Bill is too difficult": the cost of toilets is still very high; poliomyelitis, not to mention spending money, will kill people in troubled areas; nuclear power plants have been negotiated, but because of trade wars Cancelled... Even with the wealth of the family, some things are still incapable of. But Bill didn't give up. He said work harder, as if working harder would always solve it. That's the real optimist
Creativity and leadership. Things like the toilet revolution and the improvement of nuclear power plants, which Bill had done very little, either didn't pay attention to, or didn't have the ability to solve them. When Bill discovered this problem, he really started to take action, put in energy and money, and used the resources at his disposal to gather talents step by step, build a blueprint, and solve problems. He was also reading and learning about energy-related content. . Bill seems to regard every problem as building a house. Even though the problem seems so unfamiliar at this time, he gradually understands the problem by reading, communicating, putting in energy, working harder, and the house will always step by step. Build up layer by layer. In short, in his philosophy, it seems that the problem can be solved perfectly, all you have to do is put in the time and effort. This seems to echo what his mother said before: "Everyone starts by defining your own success, and with these specific expectations about ourselves, we are more likely to succeed. , it's not about what you get, or even what you give, it's about what kind of person you become." Bill's mother was really a very wise person and had a great influence on Bill, Bill was more introverted and less social, and her mother wanted him to do outdoor sports, make friends, and contact him to meet Buffett, who later became a good friend. In the interview, Bill was asked about the saddest day. He said that it was the day his mother died. When he said that, his face twitched unconsciously, and he even choked up, which shows the important position of his mother in his heart.
Having said that, Bill firmly believes that technology can change the world, make people's water healthier, and make nuclear power plants safer and cleaner. However, the cost, politics and other issues currently encountered, just as the director asked at the end of the film, whether he has gone too far, too Too much faith in the capabilities of technology. However, it is undeniable that Bill is using the solutions he believes in and the logic he believes in to really take action to solve the existing problems. Even if there are all kinds of difficulties, he always says that I can work harder and work harder. In the end, seeing him staggering in the mountains alone was quite emotional. Even though he was in a panic, he was still forging ahead and trying to improve the world in his own way. How could it not make people feel moved!
Come on, old Bill!
Off topic. It is found that science students, or technicians, engineers, who have been working for a long time, always feel that technology is omnipotent, and fall into the linear thinking of improvement, while looking at the world, in addition to technology, there are business culture, politics, religion, etc. etc., and either one could result in a technically perfect solution stillborn. Sad!
