More quotes by Melinda Gates
Make sure you continue to trust what you know now about yourself and stay true to what you believe in
Melinda Gates
[Bill Gates] wanted me to stay working at Microsoft, but I didn't think he could be CEO and we could have the family life that we both had growing up, which is what we envisioned. I knew I would go back to work at some point later to some profession. I just didn't know what.
Melinda Gates
Our desire to bring every good thing to our children is a force for good throughout the world. It’s what propels societies forward.
Melinda Gates
Women around the world should have a tool that helps them plan their pregnancies.
Melinda Gates
Women are the centre of the family. It's the woman who decides what's eaten in the house, when to have the kids vaccinated everything that has to do with the children's health revolves around her.
Melinda Gates
I learn in a different way. I learn experientially.
Melinda Gates
Despite the debunking, you have a small group in the last five years that hasn't wanted to vaccinate their children, for instance, for measles. Then, all of sudden, we got an outbreak of measles and kids were starting to die from measles.
Melinda Gates
When we invest in women and girls, we are investing in the people who invest in everyone else.
Melinda Gates
Sanitation issues in the developing world affect women more than they affect men.
Melinda Gates
Helping people doesn't have to be an unsound financial strategy.
Melinda Gates
When I look at 225 million women who want contraceptives, and then I look at the 52 million unintended pregnancies that could be avoided by addressing this unmet need, where can we have the biggest impact with our voice, our dollars, our partners? It's on contraceptives. I would rather address the problem upstream.
Melinda Gates
Everyone agrees that the failure of our high schools is tragic. It's bad business, and it's bad policy. But we act as if it can't be helped. It can be helped. We designed these high schools we can redesign them.
Melinda Gates
You can't save kids just with vaccines.
Melinda Gates
I care much more about saving the lives of mothers and babies than I do about a fancy museum somewhere.
Melinda Gates
Around the world we have girls in primary school at about the same rate now as boys, but keeping them in quality secondary schools is where the world is lagging. I'm seeing a lot of countries look at this now.
Melinda Gates
If you can't travel to the developing world, look at helping to fund a woman with a small loan and follow her. Learn her story. Learn about the difference that you're making.
Melinda Gates
Men make different investments than women do. Women tend to invest more of their earnings than men do in their family's well-being - as much as 10 times more.
Melinda Gates
Connect deeply with others. Our humanity is the one thing that we all have in common.
Melinda Gates
Women and girls face a whole host of issues. We start with health, so we work very deeply on maternal deaths, making sure that a mom doesn't die in childbirth, making sure that she has access, for instance, to AIDS medication.
Melinda Gates
My background was computer science and business school, so eventually I worked my way up where I was running product groups - development, testing, marketing, user education.
