Hiiragiya has been a beloved traditional Japanese ryokan in Kyoto for over 200 years since its foundation in 1818. Charlie Chaplin stayed here in the past, along with many other famous Japanese and international literati and recognized figures. The finest quality Kyoto-style Kaiseki cuisine is another highlight at Hiiragiya. Akemi Nishimura, the 6th-generation Okami-san (proprietress), states, “A deep sense of hospitality and sensitivity to others is an inherent characteristic of Kyoto people. I believe what makes Kyoto special is that this city has never lost sight of the essence of things which must not be forgotten or changed.”
Mr. Gates, who turns 70 this year, is looking back a lot these days. Next week he is publishing “Source Code: My Beginnings,” which examines his childhood. The first of three projected volumes of memoirs, the book has been in the works for at least a decade but arrives at an unusual moment, as the tech billionaires have been unleashed. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg — their success has given them power that they are enthusiastically, even gleefully, using in divisive ways.
As a billionaire, other people invest you with huge powers, Mr. Gates said. Because you are successful in one sphere, he mused, “they think you’re good at lots of things you’re not good at.”
蓋茲先生今年已年屆 70 歲，這些天他經常回顧過去。下週他將出版《原始碼：我的開始》，回顧他的童年。這本書是計畫中的三卷回憶錄中的第一卷，籌備時間至少長達十年，但它的問世正逢一個不尋常的時刻，因為科技界億萬富翁們已經開始行動了。伊隆馬斯克、傑夫貝佐斯、馬克祖克柏——他們的成功賦予了他們權力，他們熱情地、甚至興高采烈地以分裂的方式運用著這種權力。
蓋茲說：“作為億萬富翁，別人賦予你巨大的權力。”他沉思道，因為你在某個領域取得了成功，“所以他們認為你擅長很多你並不擅長的事情。”
比爾蓋茲與其他科技億萬富翁不同
這位微軟聯合創辦人兼慈善家暫時放下對未來的憧憬，回顧自己的過去，並思考如今億萬富翁的地位。
