Bill Gates Speech

2009-03-31T18:37:00.000-07:00

President Bok, former President Rudenstine, incoming President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the faculty, parents, and especially, the graduates:

I’ve been waiting more than 30 years to say this: “Dad, I always told you I’d come back and get my degree.”

I want to thank Harvard for this timely honor. I’ll be changing my job next year … and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume.

I applaud the graduates today for taking a much more direct route to your degrees. For my part, I’m just happy that the Crimson has called me “Harvard’s most successful dropout.” I guess that makes me valedictorian of my own special class … I did the best of everyone who failed.

But I also want to be recognized as the guy who got Steve Ballmer to drop out of business school. I’m a bad influence. That’s why I was invited to speak at your graduation. If I had spoken at your orientation, fewer of you might be here today.

Harvard was just a phenomenal experience for me. Academic life was fascinating. I used to sit in on lots of classes I hadn’t even signed up for. And dorm life was terrific. I lived up at Radcliffe, in Currier House. There were always lots of people in my dorm room late at night discussing things, because everyone knew I didn’t worry about getting up in the morning. That’s how I came to be the leader of the anti-social group. We clung to each other as a way of validating our rejection of all those social people.

Radcliffe was a great place to live. There were more women up there, and most of the guys were science-math types. That combination offered me the best odds, if you know what I mean. This is where I learned the sad lesson that improving your odds doesn’t guarantee success.

One of my biggest memories of Harvard came in January 1975, when I made a call from Currier House to a company in Albuquerque that had begun making the world’s first personal computers. I offered to sell them software.

I worried that they would realize I was just a student in a dorm and hang up on me. Instead they said: “We’re not quite ready, come see us in a month,” which was a good thing, because we hadn’t written the software yet. From that moment, I worked day and night on this little extra credit project that marked the end of my college education and the beginning of a remarkable journey with Microsoft.

What I remember above all about Harvard was being in the midst of so much energy and intelligence. It could be exhilarating, intimidating, sometimes even discouraging, but always challenging. It was an amazing privilege – and though I left early, I was transformed by my years at Harvard, the friendships I made, and the ideas I worked on.

But taking a serious look back … I do have one big regret.

I left Harvard with no real awareness of the awful inequities in the world – the appalling disparities of health, and wealth, and opportunity that condemn millions of people to lives of despair.

I learned a lot here at Harvard about new ideas in economics and politics. I got great exposure to the advances being made in the sciences.

But humanity’s greatest advances are not in its discoveries – but in how those discoveries are applied to reduce inequity.

Congratulations to all Graduating students. Now, Welcome to the Rat Race. It is a hard fact that beside to those un-employed Filipinos, new batch of Filipino job seekers will find their luck to find working survival work especially in this time of economic meltdown.

Are you an Engineer? CPA's? etc.. because of few available vacancy in your line of specialties, are you ready for a call center job? May be it is one of the most decent job to make good income now a days.

Or because of the economic recession would you rather consider to start your own business?

Anyway the choice is yours.

"Whatever is our life today, is just a reflection of what we did in our life yesterday"
"Our life in the future, will just a reflection of what we are doing in our life today."

Good Luck!!!

Get out of the Rat Race. Are you one of the Modern Hamsters?

2009-01-21T18:17:00.000-08:00

What do you feel when you see a hamster running in the wheel?
We normally smile and happy watching the innocent hamster keep running and running into race but going nowhere. We might say to ourself, "Poor Rat".

How do you Live your Life?

Do you live differently as the hamster do? Yes or Yes?

A Person is Running in the Big Wheel (see picture above). In life that person represents us, and the wheel represents the Wheel of Life.We just kept working and working everyday going nowhere and can't get ahead in the wheel of life. If you found youself in this situation then you are Trap in the Rat Race.

Rat Race is a way of living just to survive. Sa Pinoy ,"isang kahig, isang tuka". If you are working for so many years now and still broke then you are in.

If you are an executive, OFW, nurse, doctor, lawyer, high-paying professional etc... as long as you are working for the purpose of survival or maintaining your lifestlye, you are still in the race.

But you know what? We can escape this trap if we'll educate ourself on how to create Passive Income.

So what is Passive Income? It is an Income without physically working. Examples of passive income are real estate, franchise; royalty fees from books, music, intellectual properties; network marketing, businesses, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, certificate of deposits, etc. (Caution: educate yourself first before attempting to invest in Passive Income. Most of these are tricky).

Of course it is easier said than done. If you want have an actual experience on How to escape the Rat Race and Build Passive Income, play Cashflow 101.
