Bill Gates my daughter will never marry a poor man

  Bill Gates my daughter will never marry a poor man The reason for not allowing his daughter to marry a poor man. A few years ago I attended a conference in the United States on investment and finance. One of the speakers was Bill Gates and at the question-and-answer stage I asked a question that made everyone laugh. If he, the richest man in the world, could accept that his daughter should marry a poor or humble man. His answer turned my life upside down; Bill's answer was as follows: First, you have to understand that wealth does not mean having a large bank account!  Wealth is primarily the ability to create wealth. Example: A person wins the lottery or the lotto. Although he won $100 million, he is not a rich man: he is a poor man with a lot of money, which is why 90% of the millionaires who win the lottery go back to being poor after 5 years.   You also have rich people who don't have money. An example of most entrepreneurs. They are already on the path to wealth, e...

The success of a pig kidney transplant for a human being

  Surgeons transplanted a pig's kidney into a human without the recipient's immune system rejecting the transplant, a major advance that could eventually lead to alleviating a severe shortage of transplant-ready human organs. The operation took place at NYU Langone Health University in New York, where the kidney was taken from a pig after making a change to its genes so that its tissues no longer contain the molecule that helps to polarize the recipient’s immune system, and therefore it was not rejected by the recipient. The patient for whom the kidney was transplanted was suffering from brain death and had impaired kidney functions. After obtaining approval from her family to conduct the experiment, she was transferred from the recovery room to the operating room. The researchers attached the kidney to its blood vessels and kept it outside the body for three days. After performing the kidney functions of the patient, it was found to be normal and creatinine returned to its nor...
