I was there and although the transcription does take some paraphrasing at points, this is a direct quote. It leaves out that before this the student said something like: "Before I ask my question I want to tell a little story: When I was growing up my parents and friends always asked me what I wanted to be and I would tell them I wanted to be the richest person in the world. Now you are here speaking to me so if A=B and B=C then A=C. Do you have any advice so that I can become someone like you"

I assure you the A=B... part is not a random addition by me, she actually said this but I could not tell what it was based off of.

Really besides a few questions from students that I felt were a little off topic, Mr. Gate's presentation was really fascinating and I am more than glad that I was able to attend.
