比尔盖茨理想杂谈 |
分类: 评说评议 在故而思 |
11月4日,比尔盖茨来公司,很幸运的是与比尔盖茨合了一张影。当天就拿回来给李子看,李子:哇,妈妈,你可是和世界首富照相啊,不是PS的吧。
九岁的小孩子不仅认识他,不仅知道他的价值,还知道他的地位绝非轻易得见。不知道比尔盖茨是不是世界上最知名的人士?
盖茨创造了微软,盖茨使个人电脑得到普及,盖茨39岁成为了世界首富并持续至今,盖茨52岁退休了,盖茨建立了世界上最大的基金,盖茨成为世界上捐款最多的富人。
盖茨的故事,任谁都可以说上一两件。
盖茨是个创造神话的人。虽然盖茨在人们认为正当华年的时候退休了,虽然盖茨给人们留下了一个大大的问号。但似乎大家都在盖茨再次创造神话。
盖茨新的神话开始了。
盖茨来我们公司,成为了大家的话题。在若干个话题中,盖茨的三个理想最为打动人。
盖茨说,他有三个理想。第一个理想,是使每个人都有一台电脑,都用上WINDOWS系统;第二个理想,是消灭艾滋病、结核病和疟疾,让每个人都有平等的医疗机会;第三个理想,是让穷人都用上清洁经济的电,让穷人摆脱贫困。
盖茨就是盖茨,盖茨的眼睛里有亲和、有率真、有执着,他又有了新的方向,他仍在不断创造新的神话。
盖茨曾用个人电脑改变了世界,改变了人们工作、生活和交往的方式。
盖茨现在在实施第二个理想,在20年内消灭艾滋病、疟疾、结核病等重大疾病,这不仅会将改变人类的生活,还将改变人类的命运。
盖茨现在在开启第三个理想,是新能源技术开发。他投资支持探索并发展行波堆技术。这又是一个伟大的理想,又是一个立足世界造福大众的行为。据说,行波堆可直接利用核乏料,用燃烧核乏料产生的能量继续发电。这个伟大计划的成功,将提高核能源的经济效益,降低核扩散的风险。
盖茨的理想总是为大多数人谋利益,也总是为许许多多人开启了新的人生。不仅是从盖茨的理想中获益获利,更是可以与盖茨们一起创造财富。
比尔盖茨的演讲稿
大家下午好!
首先我想向大家解释一下为什么我今天这么兴奋来到这里。毫无疑问,我的大部分工作都投入在了个人电脑和软件的革新上。这是一项非常值得参与的活动,因为我们所创造的这一交流和传播的工具着实改变了整个世界。软件和个人计算机的结合改变了世界,使得科学探索更加高效,教育更加优质,并且不断涌现出更伟大的成果。这使得我非常相信创新的意义。
在微软成功的道路上,我有一个非常重要的合作伙伴——内森·密尔沃德先生。他做了大量的工作,包括成立微软研发中心。当内森·密尔沃德先生和我在讨论还有什么伟大的想法,这世界还需要何种重大的创新时,我们开始关注能源问题。特别是通过梅琳达-盖茨基金会的工作,使我开始意识到拥有经济能源的重要性,它不仅仅对富人重要,对地球上所有的穷人来说更是如此。
为此,密尔沃德先生的公司——高智发明,召集了很多优秀的科学家来探讨能源系统的创新。而我们认为核能将在今后数十年内能够成为人类清洁、经济并大规模使用能源的非常重要的来源。所以,我们非常高兴在召集了包括Logwood博士在内的顶级科学家后,提出了这样一种非常先进的理念,那就是行波堆的理念。尽管我们现在还处于早期的研究分析阶段,但是行波堆将对改善核能的利用产生重要的意义。这其中包括,降低燃料造价、避免存储、避免钚的扩散,等等。如此多的优点,以及它的经济性,让我们认为这一堆型将有着广阔的发展前景。
今天是我第一次来到snptc。并有机会了解到你们所正在从事工作是如此伟大且令人惊叹。你们对核安全、卓越核工程设计的重视以及快速建设如此重大项目的能力给我留下了非常深刻的印象。同时,我们对于如何结合双方之所长也进行了非常好的交流。我认为我们之间存在着重要的潜在合作伙伴关系。
清洁、经济、可持续的能源工作正在变得日益重要并越来越为人们所关注,而拥有积极推动核能工程的创新意愿更是显得极其重要和必要。为此,我对于我们双方将要共同达成的事业抱有很高的期望!
谢谢大家!
Good afternoon!
I want to explain why I am so exciting to be here today. Most of my work of course has been involved in personal computer and software revolution. This is an amazing thing to be involved in, because creating this tool for communication and collaboration really give us a chance to change the world. The magic of software combined the magic of personal computer are really is changing the world, making science exploration more efficient, making education better, and there is still great things that will come out of that. So makes me a big believer in innovation. And what of my key partners in creating the successful Microsoft was Dr. Nathan Myhrvold.He did many things, including starting the Microsoft research group. And that became very successful, including doing the first research operation here in China which was quite amazing in terms of the brilliant work based on there. So Dr. Myhrvold and I talked about what other great thoughts, what other innovations are important for the world, we began to spend quite a bit time on energy. Particular my work for the Melinda Gates Foundation, I became aware that having lots of cheap energy is very important, not just to the rich people in the world, but to the poor people and anyone on the planet. So about Mr. Myhrvold’s company, Intellectual Ventures, gather together some great scientists to talk about new ideas for energy system And we consider the nuclear power will be a very important contributor to have lots of cheap environmental-friendly energy in the decades come. So we are very excited when the scientists we poured together, including Dr. Lowood, and many others, came up with a fairly new concept. It is called the traveling wave reactor, and although we are in early stage, potential to improve the way to nuclear energy done looks very interesting. Includes issues like the cost of fuel, or avoiding any shortage, avoiding of proliferation of plutonium which can be very dangerous, so many things including the economics which we think are very promising.
Today is my first visit to SNPTC. I’ve got a chance to hear about the incredible work doing. The dedication to safety, engineering excellence and also getting major plans built very rapidly is quite impressive. So we have a very good discussion about how we could bring our mutual strength together. So I think there is a potentially very important partnership here. This work of cheap energy that is environmentally sustainable is more and more important and really everyone is talking about that. So this willingness to innovate to drive forward in nuclear energy is absolutely necessary. So we have very high hopes about what we might achieve together.
Thank you for having me here today.
