More quotes by Bill Gates
Every day were saying, 'How can we keep this customer happy?' How can we get ahead in innovation by doing this, because if we don't, somebody else will.
Bill Gates
The future of advertising is the Internet.
Bill Gates
Bioterrorism is like earthquakes, you should think in order of magnitudes. If you can kill 10 people that's a one, 100 people that's a two... Bioterrorism is the thing that can give you not just sixes, but sevens, eights and nines.
Bill Gates
Computers and games don't waste time - people do.
Bill Gates
People are building the software and so having the pieces be such that a single person understands all the tradeoffs and everything that's going on in a piece is extremely valuable. It avoids getting into an experimental mode where you're just trying things out. That never works.
Bill Gates
If I think something's a waste of time or inappropriate I don't wait to point it out. I say it right away. It's real time. So you might hear me say 'That's the dumbest idea I have ever heard' many times during a meeting.
Bill Gates
People often overestimate what will happen in the next two years and underestimate what will happen in ten.
Bill Gates
I think given all the different imperatives - getting energy to Africa, security of energy, climate change, that we should be spending half as much as we spend on health, which will get you all the way up to $15 billion - the health people don't like it when things get compared to their number.
Bill Gates
Living on $6 a day means you have a refrigerator, a TV, a cell phone, your children can go to school. That's not possible on $1 a day.
Bill Gates
There is a difference between what technology enables and what historical business practices enable.
Bill Gates
If the 1980s were about quality and the 1990s were about reengineering, then the 2000s will be about velocity.
Bill Gates
50 years from now we won't need as much human labour to do what manual workers do, so we should be able to take that extra productivity and put it to better use.
Bill Gates
I'm not big on to-do lists. Instead, I use e-mail and desktop folders and my online calendar. So when I walk up to my desk, I can focus on the e-mails I've flagged and check the folders that are monitoring particular projects and particular blogs.
Bill Gates
I would certainly use my voice to try and avoid anything that undermines confidence, so that parents are using vaccines fully.
Bill Gates
The year I was born, 1955, the first big disease-eradication program in the world was declared for malaria. After about a decade of work, they realized that, at least in the tropical areas, they did not have the tools to get it done.
Bill Gates
I have been struck again and again by how important measurement is to improving the human condition.
Bill Gates
Well, no one gives aid to Zimbabwe through the Mugabe government.
Bill Gates
Our current expectations for what our students should learn in school were set fifty years ago to meet the needs of an economy based on manufacturing and agriculture. We now have an economy based on knowledge and technology.
Bill Gates
You know capitalism is this wonderful thing that motivates people, it causes wonderful inventions to be done. But in this area of diseases of the world at large, it's really let us down.
Bill Gates
OK, I have a nickname. My family calls me 'Trey' because I'm William the third. My dad has the same name, which is always confusing because my dad is well known, and I'm also known.
Bill Gates
