@tferriss One of the most beautiful sentence is from the book: “We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us even in our soundest sleep.” 🌅❤️
I started @DellTech from a dorm room @UTAustin, and it shaped everything that followed. Building Dell showed me what’s possible when a company grows alongside a top-tier research university in a city that fuels new ideas.
For more than 25 years, Susan and I have partnered with UT on nearly 200 projects to expand educational opportunity, advance research, reinvent medical education, and strengthen life in Austin. Today, we’re making a new commitment to help build what comes next in health and life sciences — bringing our total giving to UT to more than $1 billion.
We’re excited about what this will make possible for people in Austin, across Texas, and far beyond for generations to come. 🤘
