Gates hopes to improve world inequities with Harvard PhD

Beijing Time June 8:7th, Microsoft founder Gates at his alma mater Harvard University to attend the commencement ceremony, received an honorary Doctor of law, Gates, said that life should not be measured by professional achievement, but how to solve the world's rich and poor inequality. Every year, Harvard University invites successful people to give their graduation keynote speeches. This year, this is gates.　　The dean of Harvard University, bOK Burke, gave Gates an honorary doctorate in law, which is believed to have been awarded to some celebrity dignitaries in recognition of their achievements. Gates entered Harvard in 1973 and should have graduated in 1977, but dropped out of school in 1975 years and founded Microsoft with Buddy Alan.　　After that, Gates didn't even get a bachelor's degree.　　In his speech, Gates told his students that work is not the whole of life, "don't measure your life based on career success, but how much you can change the inequities in the world and how you treat people who seem to have nothing to do with you."　　Gates said he would "change jobs" next year, and that it would be a pleasure to add a degree to his resume. Gates told students that changing the status of poverty in other countries could be challenging, but people should not be discouraged. "When the solution to the problem is so complicated, it's hard to face the reality that these poor people are facing, so some people are shifting their sights," he said. I make people obsessed with computer software, but why can't I let people be excited about saving lives?　　"The inequities in the world have been around for a long time, but now there are new tools to address the problem, and the PC and the Internet have provided new ways to eradicate extreme poverty," Gates said.　　Mr. Ballmer, Microsoft's chief executive, who was Harvard's 1977 graduate, also listened to his speech on the stage. It is worth mentioning that in 1996, both Gates and Ballmer donated 25 million of dollars to Harvard University to build a computer science department building. (Linghutao)
