比爾·蓋茨的釋放你的創(chuàng)造力演講稿
i've always been an optimist and i suppose that is rooted in my belief that the power of creativity and intelligence can make the world a better place. for as long as i can remember, i've loved learning new things and solving problems. so when i sat down at a computer for the first time in seventh grade, i was hooked. it was a clunky old teletype machine and it could barely do anything compared to the computers we have today. but it changed my life. when my friend paul allen and i started microsoft 30 years ago, we had a vision of "a computer on every desk and in every home,"
which probably sounded a little too optimistic at a time when most computers were the size of refrigerators. but we believed that personal computers would change the world. and they have. and after 30 years, i'm still as inspired by computers as i was back in seventh grade. i believe that computers are the most incredible tool we can use to feed our curiosity and inventiveness —— to help us solve problems that even the smartest people couldn't solve on their own. computers have transformed how we learn, giving kids everywhere a window into all of the world's knowledge. they're helping us build
communities around the things we care about and to stay close to the people who are important to us, no matter where they are. like my friend warren buffett, i feel particularly lucky to do something every day that i love to do. he calls it "tap-dancing to work."
my job at microsoft is as challenging as ever, but what makes me "tap-dance to work"
is when we show people something new, like a computer that can recognize your handwriting or your speech, or one that can store a lifetime's worth of photos, and they say, "i didn't know you could do that with a pc!"
but for all the cool things that a person can do with a pc, there are lots of other ways we can put our creativity and intelligence to work to improve our world. there are still far too many people in the world whose most basic needs go unmet. every year, for

不亞于任何其他的孩子的.死亡;我認(rèn)為,使這些孩子們的命運(yùn)發(fā)生翻天地覆的變化并不費(fèi)太大力氣。
我仍是一個(gè)堅(jiān)定的樂(lè)觀主義者,我堅(jiān)信即使世界級(jí)難題取得進(jìn)展都是有可能的——其實(shí)每天也都在發(fā)生著這種事情。我們看到治療致命疾病的新藥、新的診斷器械不斷出現(xiàn),而且,發(fā)展中國(guó)家的健康問(wèn)題進(jìn)入了人們的視野并日益得到重視。
我為醫(yī)藥、教育,當(dāng)然還有技術(shù)發(fā)展的諸多前景而歡欣鼓舞。我相信,憑借人類與生俱來(lái)的發(fā)明創(chuàng)造能力和不畏艱難、堅(jiān)忍不拔的品格,在我的有生之年里我們將在所有這些領(lǐng)域都創(chuàng)造出可喜的成就
