Bill Gates' words of wisdom
June 26, 2008
"Is the rich world aware of how four billion of the six billion live? If we were aware, we would want to help out, we'd want to get involved."
"To create a new standard, it takes something that's not just a little bit different; it takes something that's really new and really captures people's imagination."
"The finest pieces of software are those where one individual has a complete sense of exactly how the program works. To have that, you have to really love the program and concentrate on keeping it simple, to an incredible degree."
"Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose."
"In terms of doing things I take a fairly scientific approach to why things happen and how they happen. I don't know if there's a God or not, but I think religious principles are quite valid."
