Microsoft founder Bill Gates has talked about how to be a good parent, saying that 13 is a right age for a child's first cellphone. The father of three said on the show that his children Jennifer and Rory were not allowed having phones until their thirteenth birthday and his younger daughter Phoebe is still waiting for one.

    "We've made a rule in our family that it's 13 when you get a phone." He also said as a result his children often return home from school complaining(抱怨), "All the other kids have it. I'm the only one without it. It's so embarrassing."

    Asked if he keeps passwords(密码)to his son's and daughters' email and Facebook accounts(账号), Mr Gates said that he doesn't for Jennifer, who he said was" old enough".

    Besides their wealth, Mr and Mrs Gates, who live in Lake Medina, have said they want to raise their children as normally as possible. It is said that their kids have to do housework after school and aren't given much pocket money.

    And in 2010Mr Gates said that he wanted to give most of his $ 61 billion away rather than hand it down." That wouldn't be good for my kids or society, "he said.

    Mr Gates left Microsoft in 2008 to put his heart into charity. During the interview with host Matt Lauser, he said that helping others made him feel happy as creating software.

    "What you really feel is what you've achieved. If a piece of software gets out there and lots of people love it-it lets them get their work done in better ways-that's exciting, "he explained.

Andrew has a mental illness. He doesn't speak. He had used a picture chart to communicate. The pictures stand for words—people, places, food and activities.

Years ago, Andrew's parents discovered that he could communicate more by a letter board. He could point to and spell out words and thoughts. Using the letter board needs time and effort for Andrew. He hated to use the letter board, so his parents always offered it to him.

On Andrew's 15th birthday, his mother took him to a shoe store. After buying the shoes, she said. "It's Andrew's birthday today. Fifteen! Now we're off to celebrate."

The salesmen said happy birthday to Andrew. Instead of having Andrew point to the "thank you" on his picture chart, his mother held up his letter board and asked Andrew how he'd like to respond. Andrew pointed to each letter one by one on the board— "Thank you." Andrew's mother smiled.

One of the salesmen asked what it was. "This is a letter board that Andrew uses to communicate," his mother replied. "We've practiced it for years. It's amazing. It's changed everything for us." Then the salesman told them he had a brother called Jason. "Jason is 30 and doesn't speak," he said.

"Andrew, what do you think?" his mother turned to Andrew. Andrew started pointing to letters, "Tell Jason..." She was excited. Andrew continued, "Tell Jason he will change everyone's opinion of him in 26 letters." Andrew's mother and the salesmen were all moved and happy.

Months later, Andrew's mother returned to the shoe store and learned that Jason is now using a letter board to "speak". This is how Andrew affected another person's life in a split second (瞬间).
