KoSong: Bill Gates in a restaurant

How should we judge a government?

In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain

Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham

"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no

responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan

Bill Gates in a restaurant

After eating, he gave $5 to the waiter as a tip. The waiter had a strange expression on his face after the tip.

Gates realized and asked. What happened?

Waiter: I'm just amazed because on the same table your son gave tip of... $500...
and you his father, richest man in the world, only gave $5 ...?

Gates smiled and replied, "He is son of the world's richest man, but I am the son of a wood cutter..."

I believe this story is adapted from a similar one which was well known locally and applied to different self-made millionaires.
