I was trying to draw parallels about how after achieving great amount of money and success in both man, Gates is no longer too interested in running his company or product development and rather wants to focus on humanitarian causes. His speech was to focus on that, to convince those that are in power, privileged, and in a position to help, to really go out and help. Gates has grown from worrying and fretting about his company to do other things while Steve is still driven to make computers and won't stop until he's dead.
