I’ve always been an optimist and I suppose that is rooted in my belief that the power of creativity and intelligence can make the world a better place. For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved learning new things and solving problems in seventh grade. So when I sat down at a computer for the first time, I was    1    . It was an old Teletype machine. But it changed my life. When my friend and I started Microsoft, we had a    2    of “a computer on every desk and in every home,” which probably sounded too optimistic, but we believed personal computers would change the world. And they have.

After 30 years, I’m still as    3    by computers as I was back in seventh grade. I believe computers are the most incredible tool we can use to feed our    4    and inventiveness to help us solve problems. Computers have transformed how we learn, giving kids everywhere a window into all of the world’s knowledge. They’re helping us build    5    around the things we care about and stay close to the people who are important to us, no matter where they are.

Like my friend Buffett, I feel particularly lucky to do something every day that I love to do. He calls it “tap-dancing to work.” My job at Microsoft is as    6    as ever, but what makes me “tap-dance to work” is when we show people something new, like a computer that can    7    your handwriting or your speech, and they say, “I didn’t know you could do that with a PC!”

I believe that my own fortune brings with it a responsibility to give back to the world. My wife and I have    8    to improving health and education in a way that can help as many people as possible. I’m still optimistic, and I believe that progress on even the world’s toughest problems is possible. We’re seeing new drugs for deadly diseases, and new    9    paid to the health problems in the world.

I’m excited by the    10    I see for medicine, for education and of course for technology, And I believe that through our natural inventiveness, creativity and willingness to solve tough problems, we’re going to make some amazing achievements in all these areas in my lifetime.
