Mr. M: Good
Morning Mr. Bill Gates! Welcome to my humble studio. Its an honor
having you with us, and before we begin I must thank you on behalf
of my entire team for taking out some time for us!
Bill Gates: The pleasure is all mine, Mahmood!
Mr. M: So how does it feel like being called one of the

meaningful dialogues about how lucky we are to be this well-endowed
and how we can use this
wealthin a
positive way. In other words, a way that has the greatest impact on
this world (Tweedie, 2013). Im glad that she didnt say shoes and
bags like other women! (laughs)

developing an institute for basic research and instead established
the Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation (Wired
