Bill Gates on Life

Well, everybody has their own choice about what they believe in. You know, the freedom to pursue different things, and the diversity of answers people come up with that is a great thing. There's no single model that, you know, should create this ranking of, you know, you get this single score. You've got people who do science and contribute. You've got people who do social services, people who do teaching, people who do entrepreneurial things. And, you know, the great thing about our society is if you're lucky enough to get a good education, then you can find that fulfillment in a variety of ways. So I don't have a metric that would apply, you know, universally and come out with a score. I feel awful that many people don't get the educational opportunity that lets them pick. And so they can decide and pursue what their definition of fulfillment is.
