CTOnews.com, December 21 (Xinhua)-- Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates published a letter on his personal blog Gates Notes yesterday entitled "the Future our grandchildren should have | Gates Annual Vision." Gates wrote in the letter: "recently, I have begun to look at the world from a new perspective, because I will be a grandfather next year."

CTOnews.com learned that Gates'26-year-old daughter Jennifer and husband Neal Nasar will have their first child in 2023.

Gates wrote, "just typing'I'm going to be a grandfather next year 'makes me emotional. And this idea brings a new dimension to my work. When I think of the world in which my grandchildren will be born, I am more motivated than ever to help everyone's grandchildren have the opportunity to survive and develop. This is a long-term project that requires patience; in the cause of making the world fairer, success is measured by years or even decades. Maybe age makes it easier to understand. When I was in my 20s, I didn't think that people of my grandparents' age could make any useful contribution to the whole world. But as I grew older, I found that I was so wrong. "

Gates summed up the work of his eponymous charity, the Gates Foundation, for poor children around the world to improve education, prevent epidemics and fight polio and AIDS. Gates also talked about his work on climate change, including supporting early-stage climate companies through the philanthropic Gates Foundation and working with his investment company Breakthrough Energy Fund.

Gates also said: "I am 67 years old this October." It's hard to believe I'm so old-in the United States, most people my age have retired! But in the foreseeable future, I will not slow down. I am still working at full speed on the project I started more than 20 years ago, that is, giving most of my resources back to the community. Although I don't care about my ranking on the world rich list, I know that when I am successful in philanthropy, my ranking will continue to decline and eventually disappear from the list. "

Bill Gates also particularly thanked Buffett for his generosity: "if you take into account the increase in Berkshire Hathaway shares since 2006, his total donation to the foundation is about $45 billion. I believe this is the largest donation ever made, and I am filled with awe and gratitude and a sincere sense of responsibility to make sure the money is put to good use."
