More From Bill Gates

Say thank you! i want to hear you say it now. out loud. 'thank you.' you're saying thank you because your faith is so strong that you don't doubt that whatever the problem, you'll get through it. you're saying thank you because you know that even in the eye of the storm, god has put a rainbow in the clouds. you're saying thank you because you know there's no problem created that can compare to the creator of all things. say thank you!

The ticket out of the depression was an education, a college degree. it really didn't matter if you knew anything. you just had to have the degree. my dad, up until the last two years of his life, thought he had failed miserably with me 'cause i didn't go to college. i mean, you've seen postgame interviews with the star of the game and the players always talk about how proud his parents are because he's the first guy in his family ever to attend college. i'm the first in my family not to! i'm the first of my family not to have a degree. it's thrown everybody for a loop.

I would ... go up to the mailbox and sit in the grass, waiting. ... till it came to me one day there were women doing this with their lives, all over. there were women just waiting and waiting by mailboxes for one letter or another. i imagined me making this journey day after day and year after year, and my hair starting to go gray, and i thought, i was never made to go on like that. ... if there were woman all through life waiting, and women busy and not waiting, i knew which i had to be.

I'd like them to see that those things that set us apart or make us different can be wonderful contributions to the world around us. i'd like them to see that size and color are irrelevant to the dreams we envision for ourselves. and i'd also love for them to see that life is a journey, and every step of the way, we can learn something and become stronger and wiser.

Journeys, like artists, are born and not made. a thousand differing circumstances contribute to them, few of them willed or determined by the will-whatever we may think.
