美國首富和香港富人的分別

全球首富Bill Gates, 今年6月回到母校哈佛大學, 發表了一篇發人深省的演說

"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."


"The market did not reward saving the lives of these (dying) children, and governments did not subsidise it. So the children died because their mothers and their fathers had no power in the market and no voice in the system."


"Should our best minds be dedicated to solving our biggest problems?"

You can see how Bill Gates differ from the local super rich in attitude towards humanistic care.
