Bill Gates was my first idol as a kid. When he was in junior high school in 2000, Bill Gates, a computer graduate from Harvard University, the founder of Microsoft, and the richest man in the world. What a dazzling rock star. It was only later that the glitz of the Internet and Google overshadowed Microsoft and Bill Gates.
When I was young, I never thought that there would be a day when the kids didn't know why we used to worship Bill Gates so much. For them, Bill Gates may be nothing more than an American capitalist active in the last century, wearing a sweater and playing bridge with Buffett. Even if he is innovative, it is similar to the story of Edison, Ford, IBM. Or the children's perspective is right, and Gates may indeed be just a particularly mundane one in the history of human success.
Bill Gates' life is more like Iron Man. Successful business elites use their resources to improve the world. The toilet revolution, polio, nuclear power, etc., in his words, are things that require extraordinary leadership, enormous resources, and bringing together top-notch scientists and talents. It can be said to be his second venture. He has such energy and quality (talent and virtue) to innovate the old situation and change the direction of many things. Buffett was his good friend and donor.
But look at the things he has done: the construction of new countryside, the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, the medical system for the poor, the nuclear energy and energy systems, not to mention the inability to invest in larger infrastructure and public security, all of which are being done by the Chinese GCD and the Chinese after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The thing is really earth-shaking, a great social revolution. China's development is an incredible achievement, and the people have made great efforts. I also feel that people in the public gate are naturally easy to practice.
In fact, it is quite strange why Bill Gates chose these things in the "traditional world" to change the world, and did not continue to make efforts in IT and the Internet. Unlike Google, which has been making efforts in the direction of Google Maps, YouTube, Google X, do not be evil, etc., this is a person's three views and aesthetics, and it is also an organizational culture. This is also where Microsoft has always been not very good at the Internet. Microsoft focuses on 2B and catches up again in the cloud computing era, which is another story.
Similar to Buffett, Bloomberg, etc., Bill Gates is also a typical case of an excellent American education. Parents attach importance to education and family love. In education, they can not only play their nature, but also supplement their shortcomings. There are rich sports activities and summer camp activities. High-quality school education can contact a large number of outstanding talents. Middle school classmates started a business together. In China, it is similar to Ma Huateng, who graduated from Shenzhen Middle School with a superior family background.
A first-class person, self-confident, self-reliant, transparent, entering the Tao; and focused, disciplined, and successful in Taoism. Those who do not enter the stream are confused, greedy, anger, delusion, tired, impatient, and possessed by demons; and they are confused, sloppy, ignorant, self-deceiving, ignorant, ignorant, and ignorant. I am very grateful for a documentary like this that allows me to see what a first-class person looks like. Tian Xingjian, the gentleman is self-improvement.
This is a top-notch documentary filming top-notch characters, and I highly recommend it. The pace of the documentary is great. Several threads organically meet together like different parts of a symphony. With Bill Gates' increasingly wise and steady eyes, and the "naive" who commented on his hearing at that time, walking in the forest and river, there is a kind of calm and beautiful rhythm between the young and the old. Maybe the children are not very adaptable, but the age of 30 is just right.
One of the things that I think is very happy in life is that playing bridge with Buffett should be at the forefront.
Time is running out, the river of life is smooth, and time cannot be bought. Cherish life, focus, and do meaningful things.
