Right here I may stop to give credit to Mr. Gates for possessing a combination of rare business ability, very highly developed and very honourably exercised, overshadowed by a passion to accomplish some great and far-reaching benefits to mankind, the influence of which will last. He is the chairman of the General Education Board and active in many other boards, and for years he has helped in the various plans that we have been interested in where money was given in the hope that it would do something more than temporary service.

白话
洛克菲勒在此称赞盖茨：既有罕见且高度发展的商业才能，又用得正派，同时被一种要为人类创造深远福祉的激情所驱动，其影响将持久。盖茨是普通教育委员会主席，还活跃于多个董事会，多年来帮助洛克菲勒实现各种慈善计划，让捐款不止于临时救急。核心是：顶尖人才往往兼具硬能力和使命感，且品德可靠。做法是识别并重用这样的人，把资源交给他，让钱产生长期价值，而非一时热闹。
上下文
洛克菲勒在回忆录中评价盖茨的商业才能与慈善热情，并列举其职务。
今日一问
你评价一个人时，是否同时看重能力、品德和使命感，而不只是看短期业绩？
