Bill Gates' Harvard commencement speech

I'll take an exception form the technical tone of this blog and comment on a a great speech by Bill Gates at the Harvard commencement ceremony. It touches on a very important subject - all of us in our small, little way, can make a huge difference to a complex problem - let's do what we can - donate our time and money to benefit the underprivileged.

And I hope you will come back here to Harvard 30 years from now and reflect on what you have done with your talent and your energy. I hope you will judge yourselves not on your professional accomplishments alone, but also on how well you have addressed the world’s deepest inequities … on how well you treated people a world away who have nothing in common with you but their humanity.
