Bill Gates' words of wisdom

June 26, 2008

"If you give people tools, (and they use) their natural ability and their curiosity, they will develop things in ways that will surprise you very much beyond what you might have expected."

  • "We've done some good work, but all of these products become obsolete so fast... It will be some finite number of years, and I don't know the number - before our doom comes."

  • "If I'd had some set idea of a finish line, don't you think I would have crossed it years ago?""

  • "The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow."

  • "Having kids has been a fantastic thing for me. It's meant that I'm a little more balanced. In my twenties I worked massively, hardly took vacation at all. Now, I, with the help of my wife, I'm always making sure I've got a good balance of how I spend my time."
