The Chinese are clearly inculcating the idea that science is exciting and important, and that's why they, as a whole-they're graduating four times as many engineers as we are, and that's just happened over the last 20 years.

More quotes by Bill Gates
The Center for Disease Control started out as the malaria war control board based in Atlanta. Partly because the head of Coke had some people out to his plantation and they got infected with malaria, and partly cause all the military recruits were coming down and having a higher fatality rate from malaria while training than in the field.
Bill Gates
AIDS itself is subject to incredible stigma.
Bill Gates
Our leadership [in Microsoft ] has that - hey, we are the best in certain ways, and so we get the best people. That any kind of positive dynamic is quite good, so I love what's going on there, it's fun.
Bill Gates
We're all responsible for creating a polio-free world while we still can.
Bill Gates
As we have taken diarrhea and pneumonia down, even malaria down quite a bit, the portion of the days that are very early in that 5 years - the first month, the first day - it's about half now. Yet that's the part we understand the least.
Bill Gates
We can make market forces work better for the poor if we can develop a more creative capitalism-if we can stretch the reach of market forces so that more people can make a profit, or at least make a living, serving people who are suffering from the worst inequities. ... You have more than we had you must start sooner, and carry on longer.
Bill Gates
Software is definitely engineering. It's different in that we take on novel tasks every time. It's not like building a certain bridge that is virtually identical to some previous bridge or some previous building.
Bill Gates
I think that society has to be careful not to shift all of its resources to the elderly versus the young. I get very concerned when people talk about cutting education budgets.
Bill Gates
Thinking about impact on children meant adding to the agenda, both the R&D agenda and the delivery agenda, but it's amazing news, even in the scale of other tragedies.
Bill Gates
Robots will play an important role in providing physical assistance and even companionship for the elderly.
Bill Gates
I really do think cancer will largely be a solved problem. I think most of the infectious diseases like malaria - our foundation is very involved - once we're finishing polio eradication, then starting up this malaria eradication, and getting that done as fast as we can.
Bill Gates
The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow.
Bill Gates
If we have optimism without empathy then it doesn't matter how much we master the secrets of science. We're not really solving problems, we're just working on puzzles.
Bill Gates
Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.
Bill Gates
Certainly, the Windows share of servers is strong.
Bill Gates
In poor countries, we still need better ways to measure the effectiveness of the many government workers providing health services. They are the crucial link bringing tools such as vaccines and education to the people who need them most. How well trained are they? Are they showing up to work?
Bill Gates
Make sure people get educated, help out with health emergencies. Those things, the government should do. That's 96 per cent of the economy, those two sectors.
Bill Gates
I don't generally read a lot of fiction.
Bill Gates
Globalization has made copper and other minerals more valuable, and Ghana and Kenya have recently discovered mineral resources.
Bill Gates
This is something we're very committed to, it's something that I think people are underestimating right now as they've seen some of the dot-com promises not come through. I think they're missing the fact that the basic technology is moving forward, the new platforms are here and this vision of the digital decade will be a reality.
