To set goals for the coming year, we need to make a realistic assessment of where are we today. The healthcare sector continues to be plagued by problems of undercapacity, and that too spread unevenly. We are seeing varying degrees of quality of care, with limited or no regulation and a high degree of fragmentation. While there are pockets of excellence with the existence of institutions, which provide high quality of healthcare at par with the best in the world, a vast majority of healthcare providers continue to provide healthcare of indifferent quality.

10 ) William Ding (Net Worth : $1.1 Bil)
Age: 39
Country: China
Country: China
Once China’s richest man, Ding is the founder of China’s No. 2 online game company, Netease. Its flagship game, Fantasy Westward Journey, is among nation’s top 10 downloads. Signed three-year contract with U.S. game developer Blizzard Entertainment to distribute “StarCraft II” and Battle.net to Chinese mainland. Netease’s U.S.-listed shares up 9% in past year. Enjoyed double-digit profit growth.
Setting a Goal
As a young man, Ding dreamed of being an excellent mechanical engineer. Thomas
Edison and Albert Einstein were his heroes. At the age of 13, he showed great interest in electronics, and three years later, he was capable enough to assemble parts into six transistor radios.
His four years of college made for the most precious in his memory. During that time he didn't work hard for high marks but enjoyed reading IT books in the school library, which has a collection of 300,000 books on electronics.
"He often raised weird questions," recalled Feng Lin, Ding's tutor on his graduate essays. "And he didn't work like a normal student. He had his own idea on all matters."
What he has learned from his college was how to study. Even today, he maintains a habit of studying until midnight.
Before graduating, Ding could make software, standing out from his contemporaries. He quit a job he had at China Telecom and later gave up good pay from a foreign-funded enterprise to make his dream come true.
"Nothing is easy if one has no idea of where to go," Ding said.
