The couple’s separation is likely to send shock waves through the worlds of philanthropy慈善事业, public health and business.

Bill and Melinda Gates, two of the richest people in the world, who reshaped philanthropy and public health with the fortune Mr. Gates made as a co-founder of Microsoft, said on Monday that they were divorcing.
For decades, Mr. and Ms. Gates have been singular forces奇异力量 on the world stage, their vast wealth affording them access to the highest levels of government, business and the nonprofit sector. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, with an endowmentn. 捐赠；捐助；捐款；天资 of some $50 billion, has vast influence in fields ranging from global health to early childhood education. And over the past year, the couple has been especially visible, regularly commenting on the worldwide fight against Covid-19 as their foundation spent more than $1 billion to combat the pandemic.
“After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage,” Mr. and Ms. Gates said in a statement that was posted to Twitter.
Mr. and Ms. Gates went on to say that they had “built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives” but that they “no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives.”
The divorce will create new questions about the fate of the Gates fortune, much of which has not yet been donated to the Gates Foundation. Mr. Gates, who co-founded Microsoft, is one of the richest people in the world, worth an estimated $124 billion, according to Forbes. The Gateses have been married for 27 years and have three children.
“The Gates Foundation is the most important and influential philanthropicadj. 博爱的；仁慈的 entity in the world today,” said Rob Reich, a professor of political science at Stanford University. “Since the Gates Foundation is a family foundation and the Gateses are breaking apart their family, the divorce may have huge repercussionsn. 反响，影响 for the foundation and for its work across the globe.”
With 1,600 staffers in offices around the world, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gives away roughly $5 billion annually in areas like global public health and development.

“Bill and Melinda Gates helped pioneer big philanthropy in its present form,” said David Callahan, founder of Inside Philanthropy. “Everything has been outsized.”
Last year, Mr. Gates stepped down from the Microsoft board of directors, as well as from the board of Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomeraten. 企业集团 run by his close friend Warren Buffett.
Mr. Buffett has donated billions of dollars to the Gates Foundation over the years, and has pledged to leave the majority of his fortune to the foundation when he dies. In 2010, Mr. Buffett and the Gateses created the Giving Pledge, an effort to get wealthy individuals to commit to donate a majority of their money to charitable causes.
Mr. and Ms. Gates have faced relationship struggles over the past several years, two people close to them said. There were several times when the relationship neared collapse, but they worked to keep it together, the people said. Mr. Gates decided to step down from the boards of Microsoft and Berkshire Hathaway, in part, so he could spend more time with his family, these people said.
“When he was having trouble making the decision about getting married, he was incrediblyadv. 难以置信地；非常地 clear that it was not about me, it was about ‘Can I get the balance right between work and family life?’” Ms. Gates said in an interview in 2019 in The Sunday Times of London. “And, believe me, I can remember some days that were so incredibly hard in our marriage where you thought, ‘Can I do this?’”

声明：这个月想把计算机相关知识系统学一下，OS网络csapp还有数据结构这些，所以阅读文章会停更，但是英语泛读不会，英语泛读可能改用更简单的杂志文章，节约时间，但是不能停。
但是我觉得吧，可以出一期视频，可以把专业课知识系统讲一下，细节肯定会被牺牲啦~~
虽然阅读文章会停，但是每日思考不会。
每日思考专项：
最近有在看曾仕强先生的情绪管理课程，发现小马哥也在场下坐着~~要是早点系统的听老先生的课，好多事情也不会处理的这么糟糕了
讲几个自己感触最深的点：1、人就是从开始的心里面只有自己，慢慢学会考虑别人的感受，在考虑别人的感受之后才能有自由，随心所欲而不逾矩。2、老师的课程融合很多道家、禅宗的思想，要学会关注自己，坚持内观。3、为名利而活是西方的理想，老先生认为坚持自我完善才是中国人的理想，每个人水平都不同，所以完善的程度也不同，所以没必要焦躁和攀比。4、中国人都是互相设计的，设计别人开心，是给别人面子，千万不要太过计较，你心眼儿怎么那么多。5、中国人是含含糊糊的清清楚楚，话要说的圆，但是心里面要都明白。6、中国人喜欢推卸责任，要是出问题了，的确有自己的问题，心里面要明白自己是有责任的，但是嘴上要推出去，不然自己就惨了。。
因为课程还没有看完，我还是有一个疑问，先生讲了内观，讲了自己该怎么做，内观之后如何与外界联系呢？如何应答外界呢。。。带着疑问继续看视频
