When I was 27 years old, I left a very demanding job in management consulting for a job that was even more demanding: teaching. I went to teach seventh graders math in the New York City public schools. And like any teacher, I made quizzes and tests. I gave out homework assignments. When the work came back, I calculated grades.

What struck me was that I.Q. was not the only difference between my best and my worst students. Some of my strongest performers did not have stratospheric I.Q. scores. Some of my smartest kids weren't doing so well.

And that got me thinking. The kinds of things you need to learn in seventh grade math, sure, they're hard: ratios, decimals, the area of a parallelogram. But these concepts are not impossible, and I was firmly convinced that every one of my students could learn the material if they worked hard and long enough.

After several more years of teaching, I came to the conclusion that what we need in education is a much better understanding of students and learning from a motivational perspective, from a psychological perspective. In education, the one thing we know how to measure best is I.Q., but what if doing well in school and in life depends on much more than your ability to learn quickly and easily?

So I left the classroom, and I went to graduate school to become a psychologist. I started studying kids and adults in all kinds of super challenging settings, and in every study my question was, who is successful here and why? My research team and I went to West Point Military Academy. We tried to predict which cadets would stay in military training and which would drop out. We went to the National Spelling Bee and tried to predict which children would advance farthest in competition. We studied rookie teachers working in really tough neighborhoods, asking which teachers are still going to be here in teaching by the end of the school year, and of those, who will be the most effective at improving learning outcomes for their students? We partnered with private companies, asking, which of these salespeople is going to keep their jobs? And who's going to earn the most money? In all those very different contexts, one characteristic emerged as a significant predictor of success. And it wasn't social intelligence. It wasn't good looks, physical health, and it wasn't I.Q. It was grit.

Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint.

A few years ago, I started studying grit in the Chicago public schools. I asked thousands of high school juniors to take grit questionnaires, and then waited around more than a year to see who would graduate. Turns out that grittier kids were significantly more likely to graduate, even when I matched them on every characteristic I could measure, things like family income, standardized achievement test scores, even how safe kids felt when they were at school. So it's not just at West Point or the National Spelling Bee that grit matters. It's also in school, especially for kids at risk for dropping out. To me, the most shocking thing about grit is how little we know, how little science knows, about building it. Every day, parents and teachers ask me, "How do I build grit in kids? What do I do to teach kids a solid work ethic? How do I keep them motivated for the long run?" The honest answer is, I don't know. (Laughter) What I do know is that talent doesn't make you gritty. Our data show very clearly that there are many talented individuals who simply do not follow through on their commitments. In fact, in our data, grit is usually unrelated or even inversely related to measures of talent.

So far, the best idea I've heard about building grit in kids is something called "growth mindset." This is an idea developed at Stanford University by Carol Dweck, and it is the belief that the ability to learn is not fixed, that it can change with your effort. Dr. Dweck has shown that when kids read and learn about the brain and how it changes and grows in response to challenge, they're much more likely to persevere when they fail, because they don't believe that failure is a permanent condition.

So growth mindset is a great idea for building grit. But we need more. And that's where I'm going to end my remarks, because that's where we are. That's the work that stands before us. We need to take our best ideas, our strongest intuitions, and we need to test them. We need to measure whether we've been successful, and we have to be willing to fail, to be wrong, to start over again with lessons learned.

In other words, we need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier.

Thank you.

It Was May 詞 / 蔡柏璋 曲 / 羅恩妮  演唱 /柯智棠  -點擊看吉它譜

It was a Tuesday morning in May and as I awoke 
I saw the sun against your fair face 

It was the years loveliest smile 
The breeze was fresh and throughout the garden linger the scent of roses 

It was may and I cannot forget that we sang together 
The more time passes the more I remember 

The air was fresh and the song so sweet 
Oh it was may, it was may 

You sang "love of my heart, love of my heart 
You are going far away, you are leaving me" 

And I will count the hours, when will you return? 
With nod I said, I will return when the roses bloom again 

And I sang "love of my heart, the love of my heart 
You are going far away, you are leaving me" 

And I will count the hours when will you return 
And you said, I will return when I hear your voice again 

I will return, as promise, when the roses bloom again.

 “Mind the gap.” - 3 times


Train station guard: I don’t know this one personally yet it has been a few years now.

 I keep seeing her come to this station just sitting on the same seat, but never getting on the train.

 You know there’s been a lot of strange thing’s happening in this city.

 And she sure has been acting quite strange but I don’t care because she’s such an elegant lady.

 

Old lady: “Sir...”mind the gap.

Train station guard: May I help you?

Old lady: Those were the first words my husband ever spoke to me.

Train station guard: Would you like to sit down? Over here?

Old lady: Thank you. It’s all right.You see…

forty years ago my husband and I met in this station.

We fell in love. We dated. We had a child.So wonderful father

He had a beautiful voice.Unfortunately, the talent scouts did not discover him, add his voice to myself. 

Now this voice is with the city now, even though he's been gone for a few years
Listen…  (“Mind the gap.” - 3 times)

 Train station guard: that was your husband's voice that was on that recording before?

Old lady: That’s right. and they replaced him.

 I had no right to ask. But please, is it possible that I could get the tapes?

 Train station guard:you know the decades i've been here listening to your husband's voice

 Train station guard:…but actually there’s nothing I can do about it because today they just changed over the system.


Old lady: It’s ok. I understand.

Train station guard: I am so sorry.

 

Train station guard:

 Since that day we spoke, I haven’t seen that woman return to this station. 

Of course, she has no reasons to come back.

 Time always has a way of making of things slip away till there’s nothing left.

(Back to Music....) 

 

Man: Thank you. Thank you very much! 

We will call you… by the way I’m just wondering if you could do me a favor?
Just record the line for me. Just say, ‘Mind the gap.’

Musician: ‘Mind the gap.’

Man: Can you just say it two more times?

Announcer: “Mind the gap…mind the gap….mind the gap.”

 

Train station guard: Madam, we were able to get your husband’s recording and reinstalled
not in all the city but at least this station.Here, his voice is our mutual memory. 

 

Old lady: Thank you.

Train station guard: Are you going somewhere?

Old lady: Well, Yes. I can go on from here now. I have my memories.

Train station guard: Wonderful! May I give you a hand?

Old lady: Oh, thank you!


Mind the gap.”

The Lion and the Mouse
 
   A LION was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his
face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill
him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying:  "If you
would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your
kindness."  The Lion laughed and let him go.  It happened
shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters,
who bound him by strong ropes to the ground.  The Mouse,
recognizing his roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth
and set him free, exclaiming:
 
  "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you,
expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now
you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits
on a Lion."

常用英文你才不會忘記BLOG

       In life, one step creates the next. Each day is of equal importance, no matter how good or bad. There is no moment in life that does not matter. Regardless of how insignificant, each choice, each day, each idea, is the birth of the next. Something simple can completely reshape your life. It's just like the Butterfly Effect and you never know what is at the end. To go back in time and change one moment in the many that create your life could change everything that follows。  

 

      If I've learned anything, it is that everything matters. You can struggle through life in an attempt to create the perfect path, but the truth is you will always wonder if it could have been better. Everything is important and nothing need be changed — to climb up the hill may be difficult, but you'll reach the top no matter which path you choose。

I wrote a letter last week talking about the work of the foundation, sharing some of the problems. And Warren Buffet had recommended I do that -- being honest about what was going well, what wasn't, and making it kind of an annual thing. A goal I had there was to draw more people in to work on those problems, because I think there are some very important problems that don't get worked on naturally. That is, the market does not drive the scientists, the communicators, the thinkers, the governments to do the right things. And only by paying attention to these things and having brilliant people who care and draw other people in can we make as much progress as we need to.

So this morning I'm going to share two of these problems and talk about where they stand.But before I dive into those I want to admit that I am an optimist. Any tough problem, I think it can be solved. And part of the reason I feel that way is looking at the past. Over the past century, average lifespan has more than doubled. Another statistic, perhaps my favorite, is to look at childhood deaths. As recently as 1960, 110 million children were born, and 20 million of those died before the age of five. Five years ago, 135 million children were born -- so, more -- and less than 10 million of them died before the age of five. So that's a factor of two reduction of the childhood death rate. It's a phenomenal thing. Each one of those lives matters a lot.

And the key reason we were able to it was not only rising incomes but also a few key breakthroughs: vaccines that were used more widely. For example, measles was four million of the deaths back as recently as 1990 and now is under 400,000. So we really can make changes. The next breakthrough is to cut that 10 million in half again. And I think that's doable in well under 20 years. Why? Well there's only a few diseases that account for the vast majority of those deaths: diarrhea, pneumonia and malaria.

So that brings us to the first problem that I'll raise this morning, which is how do we stop a deadly disease that's spread by mosquitos?

Well, what's the history of this disease? It's been a severe disease for thousands of years.In fact, if we look at the genetic code, it's the only disease we can see that people who lived in Africa actually evolved several things to avoid malarial deaths. Deaths actually peaked at a bit over five million in the 1930s. So it was absolutely gigantic. And the disease was all over the world. A terrible disease. It was in the United States. It was in Europe. People didn't know what caused it until the early 1900s, when a British military man figured out that it was mosquitos. So it was everywhere. And two tools helped bring the death rate down.One was killing the mosquitos with DDT. The other was treating the patients with quinine, or quinine derivatives. And so that's why the death rate did come down.

Now, ironically, what happened was it was eliminated from all the temperate zones, which is where the rich countries are. So we can see: 1900, it's everywhere. 1945, it's still most places. 1970, the U.S. and most of Europe have gotten rid of it. 1990, you've gotten most of the northern areas. And more recently you can see it's just around the equator.

And so this leads to the paradox that because the disease is only in the poorer countries, it doesn't get much investment. For example, there's more money put into baldness drugsthan are put into malaria. Now, baldness, it's a terrible thing. (Laughter) And rich men are afflicted. And so that's why that priority has been set.

But, malaria -- even the million deaths a year caused by malaria greatly understate its impact. Over 200 million people at any one time are suffering from it. It means that you can't get the economies in these areas going because it just holds things back so much. Now, malaria is of course transmitted by mosquitos. I brought some here, just so you could experience this. We'll let those roam around the auditorium a little bit. (Laughter) There's no reason only poor people should have the experience. (Laughter) (Applause) Those mosquitos are not infected.

So we've come up with a few new things. We've got bed nets. And bed nets are a great tool.What it means is the mother and child stay under the bed net at night, so the mosquitos that bite late at night can't get at them. And when you use indoor spraying with DDT and those nets you can cut deaths by over 50 percent. And that's happened now in a number of countries. It's great to see.

But we have to be careful because malaria -- the parasite evolves and the mosquito evolves.So every tool that we've ever had in the past has eventually become ineffective. And so you end up with two choices. If you go into a country with the right tools and the right way, you do it vigorously, you can actually get a local eradication. And that's where we saw the malaria map shrinking. Or, if you go in kind of half-heartedly, for a period of time you'll reduce the disease burden, but eventually those tools will become ineffective, and the death rate will soar back up again. And the world has gone through this where it paid attention and then didn't pay attention.

Now we're on the upswing. Bed net funding is up. There's new drug discovery going on. Our foundation has backed a vaccine that's going into phase three trial that starts in a couple months. And that should save over two thirds of the lives if it's effective. So we're going to have these new tools.

But that alone doesn't give us the road map. Because the road map to get rid of this disease involves many things. It involves communicators to keep the funding high, to keep the visibility high, to tell the success stories. It involves social scientists, so we know how to get not just 70 percent of the people to use the bed nets, but 90 percent. We need mathematicians to come in and simulate this, to do Monte Carlo things to understand how these tools combine and work together. Of course we need drug companies to give us their expertise. We need rich-world governments to be very generous in providing aid for these things. And so as these elements come together, I'm quite optimistic that we will be able to eradicate malaria.

Now let me turn to a second question, a fairly different question, but I'd say equally important. And this is: How do you make a teacher great? It seems like the kind of question that people would spend a lot of time on, and we'd understand very well. And the answer is, really, that we don't. Let's start with why this is important. Well, all of us here, I'll bet, had some great teachers. We all had a wonderful education. That's part of the reason we're here today, part of the reason we're successful. I can say that, even though I'm a college drop-out. I had great teachers.

In fact, in the United States, the teaching system has worked fairly well. There are fairly effective teachers in a narrow set of places. So the top 20 percent of students have gotten a good education. And those top 20 percent have been the best in the world, if you measure them against the other top 20 percent. And they've gone on to create the revolutions in software and biotechnology and keep the U.S. at the forefront.

Now, the strength for those top 20 percent is starting to fade on a relative basis, but even more concerning is the education that the balance of people are getting. Not only has that been weak. it's getting weaker. And if you look at the economy, it really is only providing opportunities now to people with a better education. And we have to change this. We have to change it so that people have equal opportunity. We have to change it so that the country is strong and stays at the forefront of things that are driven by advanced education, like science and mathematics.

When I first learned the statistics, I was pretty stunned at how bad things are. Over 30 percent of kids never finish high school. And that had been covered up for a long timebecause they always took the dropout rate as the number who started in senior year and compared it to the number who finished senior year. Because they weren't tracking where the kids were before that. But most of the dropouts had taken place before that. They had to raise the stated dropout rate as soon as that tracking was done to over 30 percent. For minority kids, it's over 50 percent. And even if you graduate from high school, if you're low-income, you have less than a 25 percent chance of ever completing a college degree. If you're low-income in the United States, you have a higher chance of going to jail than you do of getting a four-year degree. And that doesn't seem entirely fair.

So, how do you make education better?

Now, our foundation, for the last nine years, has invested in this. There's many people working on it. We've worked on small schools, we've funded scholarships, we've done things in libraries. A lot of these things had a good effect. But the more we looked at it, the more we realized that having great teachers was the very key thing. And we hooked up with some people studying how much variation is there between teachers, between, say, the top quartile -- the very best -- and the bottom quartile. How much variation is there within a school or between schools? And the answer is that these variations are absolutely unbelievable. A top quartile teacher will increase the performance of their class -- based on test scores -- by over 10 percent in a single year. What does that mean? That means that if the entire U.S., for two years, had top quartile teachers, the entire difference between us and Asia would go away. Within four years we would be blowing everyone in the world away.

So, it's simple. All you need are those top quartile teachers. And so you'd say, "Wow, we should reward those people. We should retain those people. We should find out what they're doing and transfer that skill to other people." But I can tell you that absolutely is not happening today.

What are the characteristics of this top quartile? What do they look like? You might think these must be very senior teachers. And the answer is no. Once somebody has taught for three years their teaching quality does not change thereafter. The variation is very, very small. You might think these are people with master's degrees. They've gone back and they've gotten their Master's of Education. This chart takes four different factors and says how much do they explain teaching quality. That bottom thing, which says there's no effect at all, is a master's degree.

Now, the way the pay system works is there's two things that are rewarded. One is seniority. Because your pay goes up and you vest into your pension. The second is giving extra money to people who get their master's degree. But it in no way is associated with being a better teacher. Teach for America: slight effect. For math teachers majoring in math there's a measurable effect. But, overwhelmingly, it's your past performance. There are some people who are very good at this. And we've done almost nothing to study what that isand to draw it in and to replicate it, to raise the average capability -- or to encourage the people with it to stay in the system.

You might say, "Do the good teachers stay and the bad teacher's leave?" The answer is, on average, the slightly better teachers leave the system. And it's a system with very high turnover.

Now, there are a few places -- very few -- where great teachers are being made. A good example of one is a set of charter schools called KIPP. KIPP means Knowledge Is Power.It's an unbelievable thing. They have 66 schools -- mostly middle schools, some high schools -- and what goes on is great teaching. They take the poorest kids, and over 96 percent of their high school graduates go to four-year colleges. And the whole spirit and attitude in those schools is very different than in the normal public schools. They're team teaching. They're constantly improving their teachers. They're taking data, the test scores,and saying to a teacher, "Hey, you caused this amount of increase." They're deeply engaged in making teaching better.

When you actually go and sit in one of these classrooms, at first it's very bizarre. I sat down and I thought, "What is going on?" The teacher was running around, and the energy level was high. I thought, "I'm in the sports rally or something. What's going on?" And the teacher was constantly scanning to see which kids weren't paying attention, which kids were bored,and calling kids rapidly, putting things up on the board. It was a very dynamic environment,because particularly in those middle school years -- fifth through eighth grade -- keeping people engaged and setting the tone that everybody in the classroom needs to pay attention, nobody gets to make fun of it or have the position of the kid who doesn't want to be there. Everybody needs to be involved. And so KIPP is doing it.

How does that compare to a normal school? Well, in a normal school, teachers aren't told how good they are. The data isn't gathered. In the teacher's contract, it will limit the number of times the principal can come into the classroom -- sometimes to once per year. And they need advanced notice to do that. So imagine running a factory where you've got these workers, some of them just making crap and the management is told, "Hey, you can only come down here once a year, but you need to let us know, because we might actually fool you, and try and do a good job in that one brief moment."

Even a teacher who wants to improve doesn't have the tools to do it. They don't have the test scores, and there's a whole thing of trying to block the data. For example, New York passed a law that said that the teacher improvement data could not be made available and used in the tenure decision for the teachers. And so that's sort of working in the opposite direction. But I'm optimistic about this, I think there are some clear things we can do.

First of all, there's a lot more testing going on, and that's given us the picture of where we are. And that allows us to understand who's doing it well, and call them out, and find out what those techniques are. Of course, digital video is cheap now. Putting a few cameras in the classroom and saying that things are being recorded on an ongoing basis is very practical in all public schools. And so every few weeks teachers could sit down and say, "OK, here's a little clip of something I thought I did well. Here's a little clip of something I think I did poorly. Advise me -- when this kid acted up, how should I have dealt with that?"And they could all sit and work together on those problems. You can take the very best teachers and kind of annotate it, have it so everyone sees who is the very best at teaching this stuff.

You can take those great courses and make them available so that a kid could go out and watch the physics course, learn from that. If you have a kid who's behind, you would know you could assign them that video to watch and review the concept. And in fact, these free courses could not only be available just on the Internet, but you could make it so that DVDs were always available, and so anybody who has access to a DVD player can have the very best teachers. And so by thinking of this as a personnel system, we can do it much better.

Now there's a book actually, about KIPP -- the place that this is going on -- that Jay Matthews, a news reporter, wrote -- called, "Work Hard, Be Nice." And I thought it was so fantastic. It gave you a sense of what a good teacher does. I'm going to send everyone here a free copy of this book. (Applause)

Now, we put a lot of money into education, and I really think that education is the most important thing to get right for the country to have as strong a future as it should have. In fact we have in the stimulus bill -- it's interesting -- the House version actually had money in it for these data systems, and it was taken out in the Senate because there are people who are threatened by these things.

But I -- I'm optimistic. I think people are beginning to recognize how important this is, and it really can make a difference for millions of lives, if we get it right. I only had time to frame those two problems. There's a lot more problems like that -- AIDS, pneumonia -- I can just see you're getting excited, just at the very name of these things. And the skill sets required to tackle these things are very broad. You know, the system doesn't naturally make it happen. Governments don't naturally pick these things in the right way. The private sector doesn't naturally put its resources into these things.

So it's going to take brilliant people like you to study these things, get other people involved -- and you're helping to come up with solutions. And with that, I think there's some great things that will come out of it.

Thank you. (Applause)

I'm going to talk today about energy and climate.
And that might seem a bit surprising because
my full-time work at the Foundation is mostly about vaccines and seeds,
about the things that we need to invent and deliver
to help the poorest two billion live better lives.
But energy and climate are extremely important to these people --
in fact, more important than to anyone else on the planet.
The climate getting worse means that many years, their crops won't grow:
There will be too much rain, not enough rain,
things will change in ways
that their fragile environment simply can't support.
And that leads to starvation, it leads to uncertainty, it leads to unrest.
So, the climate changes will be terrible for them.
Also, the price of energy is very important to them.
In fact, if you could pick just one thing to lower the price of,
to reduce poverty, by far you would pick energy.
Now, the price of energy has come down over time.
Really advanced civilization is based on advances in energy.
The coal revolution fueled the Industrial Revolution,
and, even in the 1900s we've seen a very rapid decline in the price of electricity,
and that's why we have refrigerators, air-conditioning,
we can make modern materials and do so many things.
And so, we're in a wonderful situation with electricity in the rich world.
But, as we make it cheaper -- and let's go for making it twice as cheap --
we need to meet a new constraint,
and that constraint has to do with CO2.
CO2 is warming the planet,
and the equation on CO2 is actually a very straightforward one.
If you sum up the CO2 that gets emitted,
that leads to a temperature increase,
and that temperature increase leads to some very negative effects:
the effects on the weather; perhaps worse, the indirect effects,
in that the natural ecosystems can't adjust to these rapid changes,
and so you get ecosystem collapses.
Now, the exact amount of how you map
from a certain increase of CO2 to what temperature will be
and where the positive feedbacks are,
there's some uncertainty there, but not very much.
And there's certainly uncertainty about how bad those effects will be,
but they will be extremely bad.
I asked the top scientists on this several times:
Do we really have to get down to near zero?
Can't we just cut it in half or a quarter?
And the answer is that until we get near to zero,
the temperature will continue to rise.
And so that's a big challenge.
It's very different than saying "We're a twelve-foot-high truck trying to get under a ten-foot bridge,
and we can just sort of squeeze under."
This is something that has to get to zero.
Now, we put out a lot of carbon dioxide every year,
over 26 billion tons.
For each American, it's about 20 tons;
for people in poor countries, it's less than one ton.
It's an average of about five tons for everyone on the planet.
And, somehow, we have to make changes
that will bring that down to zero.
It's been constantly going up.
It's only various economic changes that have even flattened it at all,
so we have to go from rapidly rising
to falling, and falling all the way to zero.
This equation has four factors,
a little bit of multiplication:
So, you've got a thing on the left, CO2, that you want to get to zero,
and that's going to be based on the number of people,
the services each person's using on average,
the energy on average for each service,
and the CO2 being put out per unit of energy.
So, let's look at each one of these
and see how we can get this down to zero.
Probably, one of these numbers is going to have to get pretty near to zero.
Now that's back from high school algebra,
but let's take a look.
First, we've got population.
The world today has 6.8 billion people.
That's headed up to about nine billion.
Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines,
health care, reproductive health services,
we could lower that by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent,
but there we see an increase of about 1.3.
The second factor is the services we use.
This encompasses everything:
the food we eat, clothing, TV, heating.
These are very good things:
getting rid of poverty means providing these services
to almost everyone on the planet.
And it's a great thing for this number to go up.
In the rich world, perhaps the top one billion,
we probably could cut back and use less,
but every year, this number, on average, is going to go up,
and so, over all, that will more than double
the services delivered per person.
Here we have a very basic service:
Do you have lighting in your house to be able to read your homework?
And, in fact, these kids don't, so they're going out
and reading their school work under the street lamps.
Now, efficiency, E, the energy for each service,
here finally we have some good news.
We have something that's not going up.
Through various inventions and new ways of doing lighting,
through different types of cars, different ways of building buildings --
there are a lot of services where you can bring
the energy for that service down quite substantially.
Some individual services even bring it down by 90 percent.
There are other services like how we make fertilizer,
or how we do air transport,
where the rooms for improvement are far, far less.
And so, overall here, if we're optimistic,
we may get a reduction of a factor of three to even, perhaps, a factor of six.
But for these first three factors now,
we've gone from 26 billion to, at best, maybe 13 billion tons,
and that just won't cut it.
So let's look at this fourth factor --
this is going to be a key one --
and this is the amount of CO2 put out per each unit of energy.
And so the question is: Can you actually get that to zero?
If you burn coal, no.
If you burn natural gas, no.
Almost every way we make electricity today,
except for the emerging renewables and nuclear, puts out CO2.
And so, what we're going to have to do at a global scale,
is create a new system.
And so, we need energy miracles.
Now, when I use the term "miracle," I don't mean something that's impossible.
The microprocessor is a miracle. The personal computer is a miracle.
The Internet and its services are a miracle.
So, the people here have participated in the creation of many miracles.
Usually, we don't have a deadline,
where you have to get the miracle by a certain date.
Usually, you just kind of stand by, and some come along, some don't.
This is a case where we actually have to drive at full speed
and get a miracle in a pretty tight timeline.
Now, I thought, "How could I really capture this?
Is there some kind of natural illustration,
some demonstration that would grab people's imagination here?"
I thought back to a year ago when I brought mosquitos,
and somehow people enjoyed that.
(Laughter)
It really got them involved in the idea of,
you know, there are people who live with mosquitos.
So, with energy, all I could come up with is this.
I decided that releasing fireflies
would be my contribution to the environment here this year.
So here we have some natural fireflies.
I'm told they don't bite; in fact, they might not even leave that jar.
(Laughter)
Now, there's all sorts of gimmicky solutions like that one,
but they don't really add up to much.
We need solutions -- either one or several --
that have unbelievable scale
and unbelievable reliability,
and, although there's many directions people are seeking,
I really only see five that can achieve the big numbers.
I've left out tide, geothermal, fusion, biofuels.
Those may make some contribution,
and if they can do better than I expect, so much the better,
but my key point here
is that we're going to have to work on each of these five,
and we can't give up any of them because they look daunting,
because they all have significant challenges.
Let's look first at the burning fossil fuels,
either burning coal or burning natural gas.
What you need to do there, seems like it might be simple, but it's not,
and that's to take all the CO2, after you've burned it, going out the flue,
pressurize it, create a liquid, put it somewhere,
and hope it stays there.
Now we have some pilot things that do this at the 60 to 80 percent level,
but getting up to that full percentage, that will be very tricky,
and agreeing on where these CO2 quantities should be put will be hard,
but the toughest one here is this long-term issue.
Who's going to be sure?
Who's going to guarantee something that is literally billions of times larger
than any type of waste you think of in terms of nuclear or other things?
This is a lot of volume.
So that's a tough one.
Next would be nuclear.
It also has three big problems:
Cost, particularly in highly regulated countries, is high;
the issue of the safety, really feeling good about nothing could go wrong,
that, even though you have these human operators,
that the fuel doesn't get used for weapons.
And then what do you do with the waste?
And, although it's not very large, there are a lot of concerns about that.
People need to feel good about it.
So three very tough problems that might be solvable,
and so, should be worked on.
The last three of the five, I've grouped together.
These are what people often refer to as the renewable sources.
And they actually -- although it's great they don't require fuel --
they have some disadvantages.
One is that the density of energy gathered in these technologies
is dramatically less than a power plant.
This is energy farming, so you're talking about many square miles,
thousands of time more area than you think of as a normal energy plant.
Also, these are intermittent sources.
The sun doesn't shine all day, it doesn't shine every day,
and, likewise, the wind doesn't blow all the time.
And so, if you depend on these sources,
you have to have some way of getting the energy
during those time periods that it's not available.
So, we've got big cost challenges here,
we have transmission challenges:
for example, say this energy source is outside your country;
you not only need the technology,
but you have to deal with the risk of the energy coming from elsewhere.
And, finally, this storage problem.
And, to dimensionalize this, I went through and looked at
all the types of batteries that get made --
for cars, for computers, for phones, for flashlights, for everything --
and compared that to the amount of electrical energy the world uses,
and what I found is that all the batteries we make now
could store less than 10 minutes of all the energy.
And so, in fact, we need a big breakthrough here,
something that's going to be a factor of 100 better
than the approaches we have now.
It's not impossible, but it's not a very easy thing.
Now, this shows up when you try to get the intermittent source
to be above, say, 20 to 30 percent of what you're using.
If you're counting on it for 100 percent,
you need an incredible miracle battery.
Now, how we're going to go forward on this -- what's the right approach?
Is it a Manhattan Project? What's the thing that can get us there?
Well, we need lots of companies working on this, hundreds.
In each of these five paths, we need at least a hundred people.
And a lot of them, you'll look at and say, "They're crazy." That's good.
And, I think, here in the TED group,
we have many people who are already pursuing this.
Bill Gross has several companies, including one called eSolar
that has some great solar thermal technologies.
Vinod Khosla's investing in dozens of companies
that are doing great things and have interesting possibilities,
and I'm trying to help back that.
Nathan Myhrvold and I actually are backing a company
that, perhaps surprisingly, is actually taking the nuclear approach.
There are some innovations in nuclear: modular, liquid.
And innovation really stopped in this industry quite some ago,
so the idea that there's some good ideas laying around is not all that surprising.
The idea of TerraPower is that, instead of burning a part of uranium --
the one percent, which is the U235 --
we decided, "Let's burn the 99 percent, the U238."
It is kind of a crazy idea.
In fact, people had talked about it for a long time,
but they could never simulate properly whether it would work or not,
and so it's through the advent of modern supercomputers
that now you can simulate and see that, yes,
with the right material's approach, this looks like it would work.
And, because you're burning that 99 percent,
you have greatly improved cost profile.
You actually burn up the waste, and you can actually use as fuel
all the leftover waste from today's reactors.
So, instead of worrying about them, you just take that. It's a great thing.
It breathes this uranium as it goes along, so it's kind of like a candle.
You can see it's a log there, often referred to as a traveling wave reactor.
In terms of fuel, this really solves the problem.
I've got a picture here of a place in Kentucky.
This is the leftover, the 99 percent,
where they've taken out the part they burn now,
so it's called depleted uranium.
That would power the U.S. for hundreds of years.
And, simply by filtering seawater in an inexpensive process,
you'd have enough fuel for the entire lifetime of the rest of the planet.
So, you know, it's got lots of challenges ahead,
but it is an example of the many hundreds and hundreds of ideas
that we need to move forward.
So let's think: How should we measure ourselves?
What should our report card look like?
Well, let's go out to where we really need to get,
and then look at the intermediate.
For 2050, you've heard many people talk about this 80 percent reduction.
That really is very important, that we get there.
And that 20 percent will be used up by things going on in poor countries,
still some agriculture,
hopefully we will have cleaned up forestry, cement.
So, to get to that 80 percent,
the developed countries, including countries like China,
will have had to switch their electricity generation altogether.
So, the other grade is: Are we deploying this zero-emission technology,
have we deployed it in all the developed countries
and we're in the process of getting it elsewhere?
That's super important.
That's a key element of making that report card.
So, backing up from there, what should the 2020 report card look like?
Well, again, it should have the two elements.
We should go through these efficiency measures to start getting reductions:
The less we emit, the less that sum will be of CO2,
and, therefore, the less the temperature.
But in some ways, the grade we get there,
doing things that don't get us all the way to the big reductions,
is only equally, or maybe even slightly less, important than the other,
which is the piece of innovation on these breakthroughs.
These breakthroughs, we need to move those at full speed,
and we can measure that in terms of companies,
pilot projects, regulatory things that have been changed.
There's a lot of great books that have been written about this.
The Al Gore book, "Our Choice"
and the David McKay book, "Sustainable Energy Without the Hot Air."
They really go through it and create a framework
that this can be discussed broadly,
because we need broad backing for this.
There's a lot that has to come together.
So this is a wish.
It's a very concrete wish that we invent this technology.
If you gave me only one wish for the next 50 years --
I could pick who's president,
I could pick a vaccine, which is something I love,
or I could pick that this thing
that's half the cost with no CO2 gets invented --
this is the wish I would pick.
This is the one with the greatest impact.
If we don't get this wish,
the division between the people who think short term and long term will be terrible,
between the U.S. and China, between poor countries and rich,
and most of all the lives of those two billion will be far worse.
So, what do we have to do?
What am I appealing to you to step forward and drive?
We need to go for more research funding.
When countries get together in places like Copenhagen,
they shouldn't just discuss the CO2.
They should discuss this innovation agenda,
and you'd be stunned at the ridiculously low levels of spending
on these innovative approaches.
We do need the market incentives -- CO2 tax, cap and trade --
something that gets that price signal out there.
We need to get the message out.
We need to have this dialogue be a more rational, more understandable dialogue,
including the steps that the government takes.
This is an important wish, but it is one I think we can achieve.
Thank you.
(Applause)
Thank you.
Chris Anderson: Thank you. Thank you.
(Applause)
Thank you. So to understand more about TerraPower, right --
I mean, first of all, can you give a sense of what scale of investment this is?
Bil Gates: To actually do the software, buy the supercomputer,
hire all the great scientists, which we've done,
that's only tens of millions,
and even once we test our materials out in a Russian reactor
to make sure that our materials work properly,
then you'll only be up in the hundreds of millions.
The tough thing is building the pilot reactor;
finding the several billion, finding the regulator, the location
that will actually build the first one of these.
Once you get the first one built, if it works as advertised,
then it's just clear as day, because the economics, the energy density,
are so different than nuclear as we know it.
CA: And so, to understand it right, this involves building deep into the ground
almost like a vertical kind of column of nuclear fuel,
of this sort of spent uranium,
and then the process starts at the top and kind of works down?
BG: That's right. Today, you're always refueling the reactor,
so you have lots of people and lots of controls that can go wrong:
that thing where you're opening it up and moving things in and out,
that's not good.
So, if you have very cheap fuel that you can put 60 years in --
just think of it as a log --
put it down and not have those same complexities.
And it just sits there and burns for the 60 years, and then it's done.
CA: It's a nuclear power plant that is its own waste disposal solution.
BG: Yeah. Well, what happens with the waste,
you can let it sit there -- there's a lot less waste under this approach --
then you can actually take that,
and put it into another one and burn that.
And we start off actually by taking the waste that exists today,
that's sitting in these cooling pools or dry casking by reactors --
that's our fuel to begin with.
So, the thing that's been a problem from those reactors
is actually what gets fed into ours,
and you're reducing the volume of the waste quite dramatically
as you're going through this process.
CA: I mean, you're talking to different people around the world
about the possibilities here.
Where is there most interest in actually doing something with this?
BG: Well, we haven't picked a particular place,
and there's all these interesting disclosure rules about anything that's called "nuclear,"
so we've got a lot of interest,
that people from the company have been in Russia, India, China --
I've been back seeing the secretary of energy here,
talking about how this fits into the energy agenda.
So I'm optimistic. You know, the French and Japanese have done some work.
This is a variant on something that has been done.
It's an important advance, but it's like a fast reactor,
and a lot of countries have built them,
so anybody who's done a fast reactor is a candidate to be where the first one gets built.
CA: So, in your mind, timescale and likelihood
of actually taking something like this live?
BG: Well, we need -- for one of these high-scale, electro-generation things
that's very cheap,
we have 20 years to invent and then 20 years to deploy.
That's sort of the deadline that the environmental models
have shown us that we have to meet.
And, you know, TerraPower, if things go well -- which is wishing for a lot --
could easily meet that.
And there are, fortunately now, dozens of companies --
we need it to be hundreds --
who, likewise, if their science goes well,
if the funding for their pilot plants goes well,
that they can compete for this.
And it's best if multiple succeed,
because then you could use a mix of these things.
We certainly need one to succeed.
CA: In terms of big-scale possible game changes,
is this the biggest that you're aware of out there?
BG: An energy breakthrough is the most important thing.
It would have been, even without the environmental constraint,
but the environmental constraint just makes it so much greater.
In the nuclear space, there are other innovators.
You know, we don't know their work as well as we know this one,
but the modular people, that's a different approach.
There's a liquid-type reactor, which seems a little hard,
but maybe they say that about us.
And so, there are different ones,
but the beauty of this is a molecule of uranium
has a million times as much energy as a molecule of, say, coal,
and so -- if you can deal with the negatives,
which are essentially the radiation --
the footprint and cost, the potential,
in terms of effect on land and various things,
is almost in a class of its own.
CA: If this doesn't work, then what?
Do we have to start taking emergency measures
to try and keep the temperature of the earth stable?
BG: If you get into that situation,
it's like if you've been over-eating, and you're about to have a heart attack:
Then where do you go? You may need heart surgery or something.
There is a line of research on what's called geoengineering,
which are various techniques that would delay the heating
to buy us 20 or 30 years to get our act together.
Now, that's just an insurance policy.
You hope you don't need to do that.
Some people say you shouldn't even work on the insurance policy
because it might make you lazy,
that you'll keep eating because you know heart surgery will be there to save you.
I'm not sure that's wise, given the importance of the problem,
but there's now the geoengineering discussion
about -- should that be in the back pocket in case things happen faster,
or this innovation goes a lot slower than we expect?
CA: Climate skeptics: If you had a sentence or two to say to them,
how might you persuade them that they're wrong?
BG: Well, unfortunately, the skeptics come in different camps.
The ones who make scientific arguments are very few.
Are they saying that there's negative feedback effects
that have to do with clouds that offset things?
There are very, very few things that they can even say
there's a chance in a million of those things.
The main problem we have here, it's kind of like AIDS.
You make the mistake now, and you pay for it a lot later.
And so, when you have all sorts of urgent problems,
the idea of taking pain now that has to do with a gain later,
and a somewhat uncertain pain thing --
in fact, the IPCC report, that's not necessarily the worst case,
and there are people in the rich world who look at IPCC
and say, "OK, that isn't that big of a deal."
The fact is it's that uncertain part that should move us towards this.
But my dream here is that, if you can make it economic,
and meet the CO2 constraints,
then the skeptics say, "OK,
I don't care that it doesn't put out CO2,
I kind of wish it did put out CO2,
but I guess I'll accept it because it's cheaper than what's come before."
(Applause)
CA: And so, that would be your response to the Bjorn Lomborg argument,
that basically if you spend all this energy trying to solve the CO2 problem,
it's going to take away all your other goals
of trying to rid the world of poverty and malaria and so forth,
it's a stupid waste of the Earth's resources to put money towards that
when there are better things we can do.
BG: Well, the actual spending on the R&D piece --
say the U.S. should spend 10 billion a year more than it is right now --
it's not that dramatic.
It shouldn't take away from other things.
The thing you get into big money on, and this, reasonable people can disagree,
is when you have something that's non-economic and you're trying to fund that --
that, to me, mostly is a waste.
Unless you're very close and you're just funding the learning curve
and it's going to get very cheap,
I believe we should try more things that have a potential
to be far less expensive.
If the trade-off you get into is, "Let's make energy super expensive,"
then the rich can afford that.
I mean, all of us here could pay five times as much for our energy
and not change our lifestyle.
The disaster is for that two billion.
And even Lomborg has changed.
His shtick now is, "Why isn't the R&D getting more discussed?"
He's still, because of his earlier stuff,
still associated with the skeptic camp,
but he's realized that's a pretty lonely camp,
and so, he's making the R&D point.
And so there is a thread of something that I think is appropriate.
The R&D piece, it's crazy how little it's funded.
CA: Well Bill, I suspect I speak on the behalf of most people here
to say I really hope your wish comes true. Thank you so much.
BG: Thank you.

well microsoft was the first
software company where
rewrote software for personal computers and we believe
that we could hire the best engineers
there was a
unbelievable amount of software to be written
and
we could do it well we could do it on of global basis
uh... to
original
customer base
was the
hardware manufacturers
and resold
to literally hundreds and hundreds
uh... over a hundred companies in japan over a hundred companies doing
word processors in industrial control type things
we know in the long run we wanted to sell suffered directly to users
but we actually didn't get around that
till nineteen eighty
when we had uh... our first sort of deans and
uh...
uh... productivity software that
that people would go to a computer store in actually by the the software package
we actually
talked about it
unit article
and i think nineteen
seventy seven was the first time it appears in print
where we say a computer on it on every destin and every home
and actually did
pick we said running microsoft software
if we were just talking about the vision we'd leave
that those last three words out
uh... if we were
document internal company
discussion
we put those words and
and
it's very hard to
recall
crazy and wild that was you know on every desk and in every form
you know at the time you have
people who are very smart same
you know why would somebody needed computer or even ken olsen
who would run this company digital equipment
who made the computer i grew up with
and you know that we admired
both him and his company immensely
was saying that
this seemed kinda a silly idea
that people would want to have a computer
when
ibm
saw that we had written supper for all the personal computers
they came to us sought or advice on the design
but we said you should put it this can
and since they wanted to ship very quickly
another company
uh...
called digital research
had done that work
for the eight bit machines
and they were starting to do a version for this new these new sixteen machines
we commenced by the end of the sixteen bit machine
using this
eighty eighty six eighty d eight processor will be entered research
really hadn't finished the work
and that idea was getting frustrated because they're doing research
when sign even a non-disclosure agreement
and then some of us uh... particularly paul
and uh...
key person in kozhikode nishi
uh...
was from japan worked with us
said no no no we should just do that ourselves
and because of a quick timing
we end up licensee me original called from another company
uh...
and turned that into m_s_ toss
and
so then
subsequently m_s_ tossed competed with
this digital research cpm
uh... after about two or three years and messed osx
became far far more popular
uh... then
than cpm and then eventually we would
pecan ad
graphics capability on top of m_s_ toss
and then integrate the two together
and said today when we talk about windows
and actually include
although zen estilo slings in it that's the full operating system
alarm also you think of the graphics in windows and stuff there's a lot of
more classic operating system capability that that's built in there
they are the end initial bill is a flat fee deal uh... another flat the deal
it had certain restrictions
that prevented i_b_m_
from selling to other hardware makers
so people did
i_b_m_p_c_ compatible machines
we would get the revenue by doing business directly with those people
and that the deal was very complicated but it was a deal that
steve balmer who's a key person of the company by that time
and i thought a lot about
and it was that they really
junior team from i_b_m_ so we tried to make sure that given our belief that
personal computers would be hyper popular
that microsoft would get
a lot upside so
they felt they got a very good deal which they did
as the industry expanded
we uh...
for numbers and some for different machines we dot that opportunity even
though they did not pay so royalty
even in the early days of the set a computer on every desk every home and
you'd say okay how many homes are there on the world how many decir on the world
you know can i make twenty bucks for every home twenty bucks for every desk
if you get these big numbers
part of the beauty of the
hoping was
we were very focused on the here and now
should we hire one more person
ip our customers
didn't pay s
what we have enough cash to meet the payroll
we really were very practical about
that next thing and so involved in
the deep into the ring
that we didn't get ahead of ourselves we never thought
you know how big we'd be i remember
when uh... will your lead lists of wealthy people came out
and
uh... one of the intel founders was there
pic i ran wayne
computer section still
women still doing well and we thought within boy at the software business does
well
nevada microsoft could be
summer to that but it wasn't real focus state
the everyday activity of
doing great software
through a stand
decisions we made like the quality of the people the way we were very global
that vision of
uh...
uh... how we thought about software that was very long term
but you know other than those things you know we just came in to work every day
in
uh...
wrote more quote
you know hired
hired more people
it wasn't really until the idea of pc
succeeded and perhaps even into windows succeeded that
there was a broad awareness that microsoft
was very unique
as a software company that these other companies have been one product
companies
have heart
people could do a broad set of things didn't renew their accidents tend to
research
uh... so
and we've got your
doing something very unique but it was easily
i'm not until nineteen ninety five or even nineteen ninety-seven that
that there was this wide recognition that we
we where the company that had
had revolutionized software
when i was very young
had been exposed to computers so i was mostly just free team
doing math learning about science
and i wasn't sure what
my critique
i knew i loved
alarming about things i was an avid reader
but it was when i was twelve years old that i
i first got use a computer
actually a very
limited machine by today's standards uh... back but that
definitely fascinated me when i was first exposed
i was intrigued
uh... by figuring out what to do but couldn't do
and some friends of mine
lots of time uh... the teachers got intimidated so we were on our own
trying to figure it out actually gave
course on computers
uh... to the other students
and it became
you know a fascination where
uh... we
got paid for doing computer work and
talked about forming a accompany
uh... but
there was kind of a magical breakthrough in the computer
became
uh...
and
we could see that
everyone could afford a computer
uh... that was
much later
uh... but id
uh... that's what got us to
really get interim and create company for software
yet map was the thing that uh... k most natural to me
and
you need to make peace
exams some which were sort of nationwide exams and
uh... i did quite well almost
gave me some confidence and i had some
teachers were very christine
uh... they
let me read text books they encourage me to take
uh... college course on
symbolic math which is actually called
algebra
uh...
so i i felt
it pretty confident in my math skills which is a nice thing because
uh... not only the sciences but economics a lot of things
if you're
comfortable
uh... with math and statistics and
weighs in
looking at cause-and-effect
uh... that's extremely helpful
computers were immensely
expensive
uh... and cost millions of dollars a machine that
was far less powerful and
from what you have a m
a cell phone
today and so that
either you do
have a very
important application
or you to share the machine with other people and still you had to pay quite a
bit of money
and sometimes turns worrier connected up in and sharon machine
it's a lot better then
sending their programs and because you can see
when you make a mistake
uh... pretty quickly
even so because they charge is so much
we'd actually typed the programs
offline on a paper t
uh... so that we didn't
have any delay for typing
and then when we got onto the computer we'd feeding on that tape
uh... so that
that was less less time online
but it gave you a sense look at what you got right and wrong and you could try
and cracked things
uh... we also
because at that time the dominant form of computing misusing punch cards
we exceeded that quite a bit we're down
at the university of washington use some of those
punch card systems
as computers became less expensive so-called many computers
that more people had access mostly scientists and business people
but also we
managed to find
machines that were being used at night the idea of the machine is something
that an individual would use and that it would just sit there idle when they
weren't using them
dot only made sense
about a decade later
when the work that we and others have done
had gotten a the price down so dramatically
the idea of a computer sitting idle unit doesn't feel like some q_-two waste of
resources
alike
uh... it did when they were
so uh...
expensive and rare
i went through several phases of doing more complex programs
where people who were great programmers would look at my work give me feedback
on it
and
you get to you
you camille quite a good programmer
and it was kind of a such a
uh... intense activity
between the age of thirteen and seventeen
uh... that
you know we learned a allot
uh... densely welded
programs which were calm was
the idea of the scheduling of
uh... bar school when should the classes mean who should be what sections they
are all these requests
people who want different classes and
keeping them small and not having the teachers teach too many
classes around
very complex kind of software problem
inaction of the school first asked me to do it
uh... when i was fifteen
i said that i i didn't know how
an awsome adults to do it not
didn't work
uh...
and many
about a year later i'd figured out how to do it
and so my friends and i actually did the software
did all this high school scheduling uh... betrayed some fantastic
uh... benefits to us
and we got paid for doing it
it was exactly the kind of com complex problem that
now develop my skills very well
and you know we got
some degree of
control over
who is on our classes and
uh...
so you know it combined the best of everything
well my parents have been
fantastic
throughout
my whole student career mean getting me to go lakeside
uh... that
my senior at lakeside word one and two take time off and do this job it to your
w they've been very supportive about letting live down in vancouver
washington
i decided to show some a little bit
where and some of that
mike orchestra w so they should skip undergraduate school graduate school
and they were not do just about that
it looks like tight
would have an option you do that but i didn't i
i'd just went to harvard
and that was another case where they were right that in a socially demand
other undergraduates was good
i want to take graduate courses up at m_i_t_
and i did that too limited degree so i i kinda had the best of both worlds anyway
when it came time to be
uh... go on leave
from harvard
the policies of the school about if your garden
letting you come back work
credibly generous
and so
if he had a price it failed
then
and i would have been back into my parents
we're a little surprised
and kind of
wondering what it meant
uh... but they were pretty supportive
and in fact when we got into this legal dispute
uh... with per checked
you know my dad gave me good advice he was
supportive on on that
and so we saw that
through
and
you know that is the company became successful a
you know i hope they felt better about it
nearly all the really bad case was if it
if i stayed
and the company of was kinda mediocre lee successful that they'll that would
be okay if it
was a big success it would be okay maybe you know they could see i was
very energized and
i thought
in we needed to get in at the very beginning and not waste a year or two
which is what i have left of mine
uh... undergraduate course requirements
well i think the american dream is this kind of a global dream now that young
people
can come up with new ideas and
and create
companies that make a contribution not just jobs that whatever their
innovations that they bring about
no capitalism is this unbelievable open system that if you combine it with
uh... good infrastructure good education
their creativity
that we find
uh... for people who've had that those cancers
is always going to surprise us it's always going to come up with new seeds
new medicines and software
the movies you know things that are
or make the world a better place
microsoft
was at the center of the personal ck computer revolution in particularly
intimidate creation of a software market we went out to lots of companies and
courage them to write software
for different applications monday now applications
wild up occasions
that idea that
you would encourage people to be creative and build saw for maybe a whole
industry around that
uh... microsoft we didn't have no one else did
and so we got that going
and that's led now to where you have all these great choices and it just keeps
getting better and better ants because of the following the machines out there
it can be sold very very inexpensively sadat
all bootstrap getting the industry going
making a it personal making them be lots of software that's what we or the most
proud of
the foundation not started uh...
in the late nineties with my dad encouraging mean
uh... an executive named patty stone separate
uh... left microsoft
or helping out high was still
very busy
our kids were
uh... very young
uh... but we got going
put computers in libraries in many different countries including the united
states
we did some scholarship things
we were learning about
uh...
reproductive health and and population issues
and i kept growing
and we met people
though about back scenes and
sos
a part-time thing
a global health was a bit over half
uh... the u_s_ focused uh... library scholarship education work was over a
quarter
uh... that there was a final peace
relates to other things
the poorest other than just and health
uh... things things like
finance in savings
an eight in our group
then i saw that
uh... i could make
unique contribution aaron created to transition plan uh... that was
four years in the making
and so now im full-time at the time dation
and
plane rolled
being the chairman and
traveling a lot concerts you know it's equally challenging it's very fulfilling
it's taking this these resources on lucky enough to have because of the
success of microsoft
in giving those back to that the society
in a way that can have the biggest impact

Steve! It takes guts to drop out like you did. Higher education comes at the expense of experience. Woz! What do you work out? It's a computer terminal that hooks up to the TV for the display. Steve? Whoa... These are state of the art. Nobody makes anything like this. Welcome to Apple computer. This is everything? Sort of... I think we should start with around 90 grand. - Could you repeat that? - If you'll have me aboard. Apple incorporate went public this morning. We got to make the small things unforgettable. - Typeface isn't a pressing issue. - Get out! He's trying to start a war with IBM! Steve has been doing the impossible ever since he was in a garage. I'm trying to build Apple and they're taking it away from me? If you keep heading down this path, I will not protect you. It's a blatant ripoff. I'm gonna sue you for every cent! You are your own worst enemy. The board is unanimous. Steve will no longer be involved in this company. Ten years after Steeve Jobs departure, the future of Apple computer is in jeopardy. In life, you only get to do so many things. I'm gonna make Apple cool again. Here is to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the one who do. If we're gonna do this thing, we need to come up with a name. Apple That is so much better than Phaser-Beam Computers.

Everyone needs a coach.
It doesn't matter whether you're a basketball player,
a tennis player, a gymnast
or a bridge player.
(Laughter)
My bridge coach, Sharon Osberg,
says there are more pictures of the back of her head
than anyone else's in the world. (Laughter)
Sorry, Sharon. Here you go.
We all need people who will give us feedback.
That's how we improve.
Unfortunately, there's one group of people
who get almost no systematic feedback
to help them do their jobs better,
and these people
have one of the most important jobs in the world.
I'm talking about teachers.
When Melinda and I learned
how little useful feedback most teachers get,
we were blown away.
Until recently, over 98 percent of teachers
just got one word of feedback:
Satisfactory.
If all my bridge coach ever told me
was that I was "satisfactory,"
I would have no hope of ever getting better.
How would I know who was the best?
How would I know what I was doing differently?
Today, districts are revamping
the way they evaluate teachers,
but we still give them almost no feedback
that actually helps them improve their practice.
Our teachers deserve better.
The system we have today isn't fair to them.
It's not fair to students,
and it's putting America's global leadership at risk.
So today I want to talk about how we can help all teachers
get the tools for improvement they want and deserve.
Let's start by asking who's doing well.
Well, unfortunately there's no international ranking tables
for teacher feedback systems.
So I looked at the countries
whose students perform well academically,
and looked at what they're doing
to help their teachers improve.
Consider the rankings for reading proficiency.
The U.S. isn't number one.
We're not even in the top 10.
We're tied for 15th with Iceland and Poland.
Now, out of all the places
that do better than the U.S. in reading,
how many of them have a formal system
for helping teachers improve?
Eleven out of 14.
The U.S. is tied for 15th in reading,
but we're 23rd in science and 31st in math.
So there's really only one area where we're near the top,
and that's in failing to give our teachers
the help they need to develop their skills.
Let's look at the best academic performer:
the province of Shanghai, China.
Now, they rank number one across the board,
in reading, math and science,
and one of the keys to Shanghai's incredible success
is the way they help teachers keep improving.
They made sure that younger teachers
get a chance to watch master teachers at work.
They have weekly study groups,
where teachers get together and talk about what's working.
They even require each teacher to observe
and give feedback to their colleagues.
You might ask, why is a system like this so important?
It's because there's so much variation
in the teaching profession.
Some teachers are far more effective than others.
In fact, there are teachers throughout the country
who are helping their students make extraordinary gains.
If today's average teacher
could become as good as those teachers,
our students would be blowing away the rest of the world.
So we need a system that helps all our teachers
be as good as the best.
What would that system look like?
Well, to find out, our foundation
has been working with 3,000 teachers
in districts across the country
on a project called Measures of Effective Teaching.
We had observers watch videos
of teachers in the classroom
and rate how they did on a range of practices.
For example, did they ask their students
challenging questions?
Did they find multiple ways to explain an idea?
We also had students fill out surveys with questions like,
"Does your teacher know
when the class understands a lesson?"
"Do you learn to correct your mistakes?"
And what we found is very exciting.
First, the teachers who did well on these observations
had far better student outcomes.
So it tells us we're asking the right questions.
And second, teachers in the program told us
that these videos and these surveys from the students
were very helpful diagnostic tools,
because they pointed to specific places
where they can improve.
I want to show you what this video component of MET
looks like in action.
(Music)
(Video) Sarah Brown Wessling: Good morning everybody.
Let's talk about what's going on today.
To get started, we're doing a peer review day, okay?
A peer review day, and our goal by the end of class
is for you to be able to determine
whether or not you have moves to prove in your essays.
My name is Sarah Brown Wessling.
I am a high school English teacher
at Johnston High School in Johnston, Iowa.
Turn to somebody next to you.
Tell them what you think I mean when I talk about moves to prove. I've talk about --
I think that there is a difference for teachers
between the abstract of how we see our practice
and then the concrete reality of it.
Okay, so I would like you to please bring up your papers.
I think what video offers for us
is a certain degree of reality.
You can't really dispute what you see on the video,
and there is a lot to be learned from that,
and there are a lot of ways that we can grow
as a profession when we actually get to see this.
I just have a flip camera and a little tripod
and invested in this tiny little wide-angle lens.
At the beginning of class, I just perch it
in the back of the classroom. It's not a perfect shot.
It doesn't catch every little thing that's going on.
But I can hear the sound. I can see a lot.
And I'm able to learn a lot from it.
So it really has been a simple
but powerful tool in my own reflection.
All right, let's take a look at the long one first, okay?
Once I'm finished taping, then I put it in my computer,
and then I'll scan it and take a peek at it.
If I don't write things down, I don't remember them.
So having the notes is a part of my thinking process,
and I discover what I'm seeing as I'm writing.
I really have used it for my own personal growth
and my own personal reflection on teaching strategy
and methodology and classroom management,
and just all of those different facets of the classroom.
I'm glad that we've actually done the process before
so we can kind of compare what works, what doesn't.
I think that video exposes
so much of what's intrinsic to us as teachers
in ways that help us learn and help us understand,
and then help our broader communities understand
what this complex work is really all about.
I think it is a way to exemplify and illustrate
things that we cannot convey in a lesson plan,
things you cannot convey in a standard,
things that you cannot even sometimes convey
in a book of pedagogy.
Alrighty, everybody, have a great weekend.
I'll see you later.
[Every classroom could look like that]
(Applause)
Bill Gates: One day, we'd like every classroom in America
to look something like that.
But we still have more work to do.
Diagnosing areas where a teacher needs to improve
is only half the battle.
We also have to give them the tools they need
to act on the diagnosis.
If you learn that you need to improve
the way you teach fractions,
you should be able to watch a video
of the best person in the world teaching fractions.
So building this complete teacher feedback
and improvement system won't be easy.
For example, I know some teachers
aren't immediately comfortable with the idea
of a camera in the classroom.
That's understandable, but our experience with MET
suggests that if teachers manage the process,
if they collect video in their own classrooms,
and they pick the lessons they want to submit,
a lot of them will be eager to participate.
Building this system will also require
a considerable investment.
Our foundation estimates that it could cost
up to five billion dollars.
Now that's a big number, but to put it in perspective,
it's less than two percent
of what we spend every year on teacher salaries.
The impact for teachers would be phenomenal.
We would finally have a way to give them feedback,
as well as the means to act on it.
But this system would have
an even more important benefit for our country.
It would put us on a path to making sure
all our students get a great education,
find a career that's fulfilling and rewarding,
and have a chance to live out their dreams.
This wouldn't just make us a more successful country.
It would also make us a more fair and just one, too.
I'm excited about the opportunity
to give all our teachers the support they want and deserve.
I hope you are too.
Thank you.
(Applause)

Some of those experiences out there when I was on the court .
I felt like I was being controlled by something else.
I felt like I was having an out-of-body experience.    (out of body 靈魂出竅)
I still have to pinch myself to really ... believe it.
Wait a minute, who is this kid? Where is he from? Already cut twice this season.
Wait! not drafted? Nobody thought he could play. 
Sleeping on a teammate's couch. 
Jeremy Lin came from nothing to greatness.
I didn't wanna play the piano.
Like every year, the recital would come around. (recital 演奏會)
I'd be pretty much playing the same song.
And they were just like, "This is not working. All he does is play basketball."
So ... they just let me play basketball.
He is just this little kid.
He just scores the basketball so well.
In high school, Jeremy was the best player here.
And Lin is gonna have to launch a twenty-five pull-up.
He banked it in!
Did he call that?
But yet, colleges weren't clamoring for him. (clamoring 叫嚷著,吵著)
He just didn't fit the mold.
People look at basketball players in terms of race.
College, it just got crazy.
Can you even open your eyes?
Can you see the scoreboard?
I was really interested in seeing for team would take the plunge and take this Asian-American player.
If I don't get drafted here, I probably won't get drafted.
Landry Fields.
He puts the order: God first, family second, basketball third.
It's more of "God is in all those things."
He was standing at the door, and he had tears in his eyes,
because the pressure was really getting to him.
And I remember he turned to me, and he said, "I don't know if I can keep doing this."
You don't get better if you win all the time.
You look at yourself more when you lose.
Lin has a chance to make history as the first Asian-American NBA player in the modern era.
This transcends sports.
That's all I dream about.
It's hitting the game winner and then doing some pose and then walking off.
Puts it up. Bang! Jeremy Lin from downtown!
You know, that's like all I did growing up.
I wanna know what that felt like.
