4. When you are in a man-made dilemma, don’t complain.
5. You need to understand: before you were gone, your parents were not as "boring" as they are now. You should consider that this is a huge price they pay to raise you.
6. In school, where you get in the exam is not that important, but it is not so important when you enter society. No matter where you go, you have to be ranked.
7. There are holidays in school, but not in working in a company. You can hardly rest and rarely spend holidays easily.
8. In school, teachers will help you study, but not in the company. If you think the teachers at school are very strict with you, it’s because you have not yet entered a company to work. Because if the company is not strict with you, you will lose your job.
9. People like to watch TV series, but if you don’t watch them, that’s not your life. As long as you work in the company, you have no time to watch TV series.
10. Never criticize others behind their backs, especially your boss for being ignorant, mean and incompetent.
Bill Gates recommends all book lists
Bill Gates’s five favorite books during his entrepreneurial years
Running the world’s largest charitable foundation and While serving as a technical consultant for Microsoft, Bill Gates also spent a lot of time reading books of various lengths.
A voracious reader, Gates compiled a list of his favorite books of 2014. Some of the books were not released in 2014, some were published before, and one has not yet been published. But, in the words of the billionaire tech guru, these books are excellent reads.
Most of the books Gates recommends are business and economic books, but this is not intentional. "Thomas Piketty paid strong attention to the gap between rich and poor in "Capital in the 21st Century". In this way, It’s the perfect time of year to read these books,” Gates wrote on his blog.
The following are Gates’ five favorite books in 2014.
1. "Adventures in Business", author John Brooks
John Brooks's collection of essays was published in 1969 and is still one of Gates' favorite books. He re-read the book this year and praised it as "the best business book I have ever read."
“Not long after Buffett and I met, he lent me this book. This book collects the author’s business articles published in The New Yorker magazine in the 1950s and 1960s. . He and I both like this book very much. Although Brooks's business insights are old, they are timeless."
2. "Capital in the 21st Century", written by Thomas Piketty
Piketty’s book was released in August 2013 and caused a stir this year
“I told Piketty that although I am more concerned about some of the secondary views and policy prescriptions in the book , but I agree with his most important conclusion: the gap between rich and poor is an increasingly serious problem, and governments of all countries should take action to reduce the gap between rich and poor."
3. "How Asia Rise", author. Joe Stawell
This work by Stawell was published in May this year. It mainly analyzes how Asian countries and regions such as Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and China continue to achieve rapid economic growth. , and why other countries cannot revitalize their economies.
"This book
4. "The Rosie Effect", written by Grant Simpson
This is the only book on Gates's book list The novel is a sequel to "Rosie's Plan" written by Pusheng Xin. The book will be officially published on December 31 this year, but Gates has already received the pre-sale copy of the novel directly from the author.
< p>"This interesting novel aroused my thinking about interpersonal relationships: How are interpersonal relationships established? How do we spend time and energy to improve these relationships? This is a warm, interesting and thought-provoking book Book. "5. "Creating the Contemporary World: Materials and Dematerialization", author: Zlav Smil
The founder of Microsoft has always been interested in Smil's books. One of his books is on Gates's list every year. "Creating the Modern World," which was published last year, explores the global use of materials from silicon to wood to plastics.
< p>"If anyone tries to tell you that we are using less material now, show them this book. The book still embodies Smil's usual skepticism and fascination with data. Smil shows in the book that if we use less material we can reduce costs, which actually encourages more production. ”The reasons for Bill Gates’ divorce
After careful consideration and efforts to maintain this relationship, we have decided to end our marriage.
After a long period of time in the past For 27 years, we raised three wonderful children and built a foundation that spans the world and strives to empower all people to live healthy and dignified lives. .
We share the same belief in that mission and will continue to work together in the Foundation.
But we no longer believe in the future. In our lives, we can grow together as a couple
As we try to start a new life, we ask for space and privacy for our home.
First, their marriage had problems a long time ago, and they had suffered and tried hard to save it.
But in the end, after rational thinking, they decided to break up.
Second, their marriage has been fruitful.
One of the results is that they have raised three wonderful children together.
The second fruit. , established the foundation together and have the same belief in "serving all mankind"
Thirdly, even if they are divorced, they still have the same mission. /p>
That is to continue sharing, serving the faith of all mankind, and continuing to cooperate in the foundation. In other words, they are still partners in work.
Fourth, they have to start a new life, have their own space, and protect their privacy without being disturbed.
Not to mention the US$107.2 billion in hand.
You are so rich and currently ranked second in the world’s wealth list. Do you still need to grow? Still fighting? Want to create a miracle?
The first time they heard that the divorce was because they could no longer "grow together", they really gained knowledge!
Our divorce was either a fight between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, and there was a stalemate, so the woman had to leave.
Either the mistress intervened and was eager to get into the family, so the bad wife gave way.
Either the poor and humble couple are miserable and unable to survive without material resources.
Either one party is sick and abandoned by the other party.
Perhaps the former richest man in the world is indeed extraordinary.
At the age of 65, you still need the person in your marriage to give you the motivation to continue to improve and to climb the peak of life.
However, the gossip news in the media has various theories about Gates’ divorce.
Some say that in order to avoid taxes, Biden’s tax policy will increase taxes on the rich.
It is said that Gates has a new love, such as falling in love with a Chinese lady.
It is said that Melinda has criticized this marriage for a long time and wants to restart her life.
The specific reasons for the divorce can only be guessed by outsiders. As long as they have not No matter what the specific reasons are, then these speculations are untenable.
In fact, to put it bluntly, love is dead, there is no more love!
How many different values ??can there be in a long marriage of 27 years? How much more emotion can be maintained?
Even if the richest man has huge wealth, time still leaves its mark on him.
His face is still full of age spots and wrinkles, his hair is dyed with frost, and he is still unable to resist the erosion of time.
No matter how beautiful the love is, no matter how strong the marriage bond is, they cannot withstand the test of time.
The glamorous shell of marriage is for people to see.
Live in a mansion and live the luxurious life of a billionaire.
But is Melinda really not lonely in her heart? Really, can material things completely replace spiritual needs?
Melinda quit her job and became a full-time housewife, and Gates is busy with his great career. Is their marriage really happier than ordinary marriages?
Melinda published her first book "Themoment of Lift" in September 2020, which was translated as "Women's Moment".
In the book, she elaborates on some of her views.
The following is an English introduction to the book.
From this we can see what Melinda is pursuing?
Maybe we can also see why they divorced?
For the past 20 years, Melinda Gates has been dedicated to a mission of finding solutions for people with the most pressing needs, no matter where they live.
Throughout this process, one thing became gradually clear to her: if you want to improve society, you need to stop constantly degrading the status of women.
In this moving and compelling book, Melinda shares what she has learned from the inspiring people she has met while traveling and working around the world. Experience and lessons learned.
As she writes in the introduction, "That's why I had to write this book—to share the stories of those who have given us so much importance and urgency." .
I want us all to see ways in which we can improve the status of those women who live where we live.
For the first time she writes about her personal life and the path to fairness in her marriage.
Throughout, she shows how there have never been more opportunities to change the world and change ourselves.
Written with emotion, candor, and tenderness, she introduces us to valuable women and demonstrates the power of connection. When we change others, they change us.
The above is my translation of the English introduction.
She is not a vassal of Bill Gates.
She had her own career before she got married. She is an excellent independent woman. Her talent and IQ are extraordinary.
From the books she wrote, it can be seen that she has great love and ambition in her heart.
After marriage, she spent most of her time on raising children.
If she, like Bill, devotes herself to her career, she will definitely be even better than she is now.
The role of women has led to women seeming to have to face issues such as marriage, abortion, contraception, and childbirth.
And these inevitably affect women’s status in the workplace and society.
This prevents women from devoting themselves to their careers without any worries and always plays the weaker role in the gender roles.
The following are the divorce documents filed by Melinda
Melinda took the initiative to end this marriage and could no longer make the other party go on.
She has the courage, determination, and the right and confidence to say no to her marriage.
Even if her husband is an important figure in the world, she can still start her new life with this.
And she actually makes efforts and helps. In this sense, she is by no means selfish or mediocre.
Even if they are extremely wealthy and famous, they still cannot escape the dullness of marriage and the boredom of being together for a long time.
It’s a fairy tale, not reality.
The reality is that after a long time, there will definitely be aesthetic fatigue, and when you are tired, you may forget the old and adopt the new.
Money is not everything. When it comes to emotions, it shows that money can do nothing.
No matter how much money you have, you can’t keep it. A complete family, a broken marriage, is so overwhelming that no one can resist it!
It is both a tragedy and a comedy to be unable to continue sailing.
It’s a bit of a pity to say tragedy because you can’t grow old together, but comedy because you can still find yourself again in the rest of your life!
I hope that Melinda can start a new life and rediscover the love that can set her sail again
I also wish that Gates will continue to be committed to the grand plan of mankind and continue to search for The destination of one's own spirit
