He enjoys the debate, but he just wants to hear different opinions and always wants to win. However, competitiveness and curiosity didn't affect Gates to become a modest person to get along with China, the President and Hu Jintao. (Li Kaifu comments)
Gates is a man with passion for technology and a sense of mission to mankind. He has a lot of wealth, but his own lifestyle is very simple. This sense of mission is from the heart, not pretending. (Zhang Yaqin Review)
Bill Gates has made more money than anyone in human history, and he is trying to donate it. Most people may spend their money elsewhere, or just donate a little, hoping that others will not give them medals, instead of spending all their time looking for something that really works, as Bill Gates did. This is his life's work. (Clinton comments? )
