ON THE MARBLE – MELINDA GATES
Melinda Gates “If you are successful, it is because somewhere, sometime, someone gave you a life or an idea that started you in the right direction. Remember also that you are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.” Melinda Gates is an American philanthropist, former Microsoft employee, and wife of Microsoft founder Bill Gates. She is a co-founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. In September 2016, Melinda announced her desire to begin working on an important issue, the lack of women in technology, saying: “We’re graduating fewer women technologists. That is not good for society. We have to change it.” She explained that for the next two years she would be in “learning mode” after which she would begin addressing the problem.
