盖茨,他曾是西雅圈的律师、参加过第二次世界大战的退伍老兵、非营利组织的志愿者。他83岁高龄,仍旧愿奔忙在全球最大的慈善机构的管理第一线,现任比尔和梅琳达·盖茨基金会联席主席。 但大家最关注的,是他怎样培养出一个成为世界酋富的儿子。
A heartfelt, deeply personal book, Showing Up for Life shines a bright light on the values and principles that Bill Gates Sr. has learned over a lifetime of “showing up” — lessons that he learned growing up in the Great Depression, and which he instilled in his children and continues to practice on the world stage as the co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Through the course of several dozen narratives arranged in roughly chronological fashion, Gates introduces the people and experiences that influenced his thinking and guided his moral compass. Among them: the scoutmaster who taught him about teamwork and self reliance; his famous son, Trey, whose curiosity and passion for computers and software led him to ultimately co-found Microsoft. Through revealing stories of his daughters, Kristi and Libby; his late wife Mary, and his current wife Mimi; and his work with Nelson Mandela and Jimmy Carter, among others, he discusses the importance of hard work, getting along, honoring a confidence, speaking out, and much more.
Showing Up for Life translates one man’s experiences over four score years of living into an inspiring road map for readers everywhere.
As Bill Gates Sr. puts it:
I’m 83 years old. Representing the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and everyone who is a part of it has given me the opportunity to see more of the world and its rich possibilities than most people ever do. I never imagined that I’d be working this late in life, or enjoying it so much.

老盖茨从自身讲起,虽然书名与内容不太相符,但老盖茨并没有将教育规矩化,也没有条条框框,我想只有有心读者才能领悟出来各自的条条框框吧,就像他讲的那样,父母是没有课程可学的。每位父母教育的子女各不相同,关键是挖掘孩子的兴趣爱好,并教会他们自信和自立。
