Recently the daily mail published a remarkable interview of Microsoft founder Bill Gates. In the interview Mr. Gates discusses, rather candidly, many personal things — from his children teasing him, to his friendship with Facebook founder Mark Zukerberg, Bono and Oprah to his plans for chaining the world.
Here is a highlight of what you can expect:
Why not be the guy who cures cancer instead?
‘The motto of the foundation is that every life has equal value. There are more people dying of malaria than any specific cancer. When you die of malaria aged three it’s different from being in your seventies, when you might die of a heart attack or you might die of cancer. And the world is putting massive amounts into cancer, so my wealth would have had a meaningless impact on that.’
I implore you to read the interview in it’s entirely as it’s a rare glimpse into the psyche of a genius. However what I most enjoyed about whilst reading this piece is we get to see the human side of Bill, that is not always apparent.
