'There Is More To Life Than Work': Bill Gates Delivers Emotional Message To Graduates About Learning To Take A Break "When I was your age, I didn't believe in vacations. I didn't believe in weekends. I pushed everyone around me to work very long hours," Gates told the crowd, noting that in the earliest days of founding Microsoft, he would take note of which employees were working the longest hours daily. "But as I got older—and especially once I became a father—I realized there is more to life than work. Don't wait as long as I did to learn this lesson. Take time to nurture your relationships, to celebrate your successes, and to recover from your losses."

这个真是两极分化。很多年轻人都躺平了。公司training都是怎么motivate and attract millenniums 但是花街又很多一周80 100小时那种。还有律师。年年轻轻就burned out 马一龙也是工作狂。估计贝佐小扎那个级别的都是。 美国中产不至于要burn out才能吃饱饭。丰俭由人。我觉得他说得没问题

Take time to nurture your relationships, to celebrate your successes, and to recover from your losses
以后没那么多work可做了啊，不劝人enjoy life，难道要争资源卷得头破血流吗？以后主流洗脑肯定就是躺平UBI了。
所以啊，真的对抗资本主义的方法就是不生孩子+低消费（这么说还真的只能躺平了），只要消费够低，财富自由就很好实现
有道理啊，他折腾了半天最亲的人不就是前妻给他的三孩子吗，还整天想着拯救地球可是没人听他呀。
那么一段发自内心的话，即使没有感同身受体面的人也做不到出口成脏。
年轻的时候刚创业肯定很忙，老了想法会变。不得不说Microsoft文化一直还可以，wlb比较好
盖子作为老板还是很不错的，他年轻创业的时候特别担心公司没钱，倒不是因为自己没钱花，他一个单身汉家里又有钱根本不是事，是觉得他的同事拖家带口要是被lay-off 日子怎么过
如果他说年轻人要奋斗， 996是福报， 你就开心了？ 不用这么戴着有色眼镜看人吧。
人家财富也是自己奋斗来的好不好？不但自己创造财富，而且微软产生了多少就业机会，带动多少中产，更不要说人家的慈善活动。我觉得他说的没错，there is more to Life than work. 这个鸡汤要喝。
普通人都知道工作不是最重要啊，还需要他说？只不过是不工作就没钱活才工作啊。这话对普通人来说完全没有意义。
他只不过说工作之余不要忽视家庭亲情。很多人，比如盖茨他自己在年轻的时候就不在意。这么说有什么错？因为工作而忽视家庭亲情的人不要太多。很多东西都是common sense，但轮到自己有时候就会做不到。
他也不算虚伪了，去Epstein小岛“享受生活”的确比工作重要
说得好，有些人心态扭曲成啥样了都

仇富而已。
咱做不到比尔的位子，也没那资格喝他的鸡汤啊
喝什么鸡汤。盖兹早就说过了，为了保护环境，你们只配喝虫子汤。

比微软现在的CEO仁义
他又没有过我们普通人的日子，有我们普通人的生活压力。 普通人的孩子大学毕业就背一堆债，再不工作，enjoy啥life啊？homeless的life吗？谁不想enjoy life呢。华尔街工作模式就是那样，你不跟着，就没有工作。这又不是自己能选择每天干多少小时，还能维持工作。不就是站着说话不腰疼？
何不食肉糜? 皇帝说我讲得是实在话啊, 怎么就成笑柄了流传千年了?
还有一个亿的小目标，人家可能也是说实在话。
就是啊。 如果业界就是工作强度高，只能跟着做。很多工作，做为普通人，没有选项是自己决定要工作和生活balance，还维持工作。比如做resident的医生，拼tenure的教授，楼上说的律所，花街。当然，他也可以说，那就换其他工作🤷♀️
Easy for him to say!😂
well said!
在谋生的投入上是有一个很大的spectrum的，不是只有拼命工作和躺平两个极端。
拿皇帝做类比就是把人家说的话推到一个极端。
盖茨说的很真实。在我母亲身上也看到这一点，年轻的时候她多才多艺，体育音乐刺绣做衣服什么都来得，但是事业心强（那时大陆工作还不赚啥钱呢，根本不是谋生的问题）什么都放下了，包括各种家庭关系当然也不投入。现在也捡不起来了。
应该说人家的多数财富是一针针卖疫苗辛苦赚来的
他没去过小岛吧，只是有张合照而已 你们是不是都把他和克林顿搞混了
是啊，我觉得他说的话没毛病 而且作为年轻人我确实也觉得需要work lifebalance 钱是赚不完的
Bill说这话是给鸡娃听的，那些人肯定前途很好，只是让他们注意身体和生活的平衡。
当然熊娃工作如果都找不到的话，听了肯定感觉不一样。
现在哪有熊娃啊，年轻人不奋斗生存都难
我小孩高中里不是honor/ap班的都被定为熊娃，那些人考试八十几分就满足了。那些小孩就只是应付功课和考试，大多时间都是玩，谈不上奋斗。
在美国不奋斗的年轻人和非年轻人太多了。
人生的目标不止财务充足，应该有更高更远大的东西，否则就容易迷失自己，你把它简单化了
諷刺的是 如果他沒有早年做那些事情 他可能不會被當成成功人士來給這個演講
属实，世俗定义成功的标准其实不是好的人生。这些“成功”人士到达的时候明白了这一点，可是分享还是没多少人会听。
是的， 微软一直以有足够的现金而闻名， 他早年就说就怕没现金不能给员工发工资。 上学时候课堂上还特意分析过微软的财报。
我也感恩他 没有他我不会转cs,
