我刚参加了儿子大学毕业典礼，深有感触。校友Melinda Gates 应邀在毕业典礼上讲话， 其主题是关于keep connected. 她说 “人们认为她太富，很难接近 connected”；她认为 “计算机用0 与 1，但是人与人都是1，不管你是穷人还是富人...”  "Some people assume that Bill and I are too rich to make a connection with someone who's poor, even if our intentions are good. But adjectives like rich and poor don't define who any of us truly are as human beings. And they don't make any one individual less human than the next. The universe is like computer code in that way. Binary. There is life, and there is everything else. Zeroes and ones. I'm a one. You're a one."  "if you can really believe that all 7 billion people on the planet are equal to you in spirit, then you will take action to make the world more equal for everyone." 下面的网址可以观看她的演讲全文与录像。
