Bill Gates is by far one of the most successful
people on the planet.
Most people know three things about Bill Gates;
He's the richest man�in the world.
He cofounded one of the most successful tech
companies of all time Microsoft.
He's an extremely generous philanthropist
through the Gates Foundation.
Instead of reading about the concepts of leadership,
we can look at Bill Gates to see how he became
that way, and use him as role model for our
behavior.
But despite his philanthropic efforts and�online
presence, there are a lot of things about
Gates that many are unaware of.
So let see some of Gate�s attributes and
get some smart ideas to apply in our life
to be happy & successful.
Smart Idea 1 * Be Competitive:
Some of the attributes you can draw from the
life of Bill Gates is that he was competitive,
smart and persistent.
Bill is a person who had the drive to win.
You should try to be the best you can be whatever
it takes so long as you succeed in the long
run.
You cannot achieve your dreams unless you
call forth a very strong desire to succeed.
Apple and Microsoft are the world�s two
most valuable brands, according to Forbes.
The rivalry between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates
has been well documented through the years.
Gates claimed "There's nothing on the iPad
I look at and say, 'Oh, I wish Microsoft had
done it�;" Besides Bill Gates is one of
the most determined people on earth.
He presents a person who would hammer his
way until he got an ideal solution.
Persistence calls for having a goal and fighting
your way towards its accomplishment.
The process can be very long and painful,
but you have to fight your way through.
Smart Idea 2 * Read a lot:
The parents of this great mind made a subscription
to Fortune, and he took advantage to read
a lot.
You cannot become smart unless you read broadly.
Bill Gates was a dedicated reader from his
childhood.
You will still find him writing about the
books he reads on his website.
Gates scored a near-perfect 1590 out of 1600
on his SATs.�As a teen at Lakeside Prep
School, Gates wrote his first computer program
on a General Electric computer.
It was a version of tic-tac-toe where you
could play against the machine.
Gates says he reads 50 books a year.
He says, "Reading is still the main way that
I both learn new things and test my understanding".
Within a year, Bill Gates dropped out from
Harvard.
Then he formed Microsoft.
Microsoft�s vision is �A computer on every
desk and Microsoft software on every computer�.
Bill is a visionary person and works very
hard to achieve his vision.
His belief in high intelligence and hard work
has put him where he is today.
Smart Idea 3 * Focus:
Bill was very curious when it came to studying
everything in sight.
However, he would concentrate on a single
task at a time with a lot of discipline.
You would find him sitting while clenching
a marker in his mouth, rocking and tapping
his feet, impervious to distraction.
You cannot do this unless you have a lot of
focus which comes with overcoming disruptions.
You must appreciate the fact that it�s quite
hard to do important works.
The reason is that such actions require full
concentration.
You cannot carry out such assignments unless
you overcome any distractions.
Bill believed in achieving his goals through
hard work.
He also believes that if you are intelligent
and know how to use your intelligence, you
can reach your goals and targets.
From his early days Bill was ambitious, competitive
and intelligent.
Smart Idea 4 * Carefully Pick Your Battles:
According to the reality checks of Bill Gates,
you should stop wasting time in places where
you have little chances for success.
Make sure you give full attention whenever
the right opportunity surfaces.
You may have limited resources, and you should
be careful not to waste them.
Assess each opportunity that comes your way
and only pick the right ones.
You can gain some of these insights through
reading widely.
As he says, �To win big, you sometimes have
to take big risks.� Yes, we are incorporating
Robert Frost into the world of entrepreneurs.
Robert and Bill both believe that the path
to success is not always clearly marked.
Many people go down common roads they believe
that will lead them to success.
According to Bill, we have the skill and the
energy, and we have all it takes to seize
the opportunity.
Make the most of any opportunity that you
decide to take.
You should spare no effort because if you
allow it to pass, it may never come your way
again.
Success stories like Bill Gates are nothing
but determination for�the average Joe.
I am not just referring to his financial status
and his affluence in the technological community.
I am also speaking of his generosity and kindness
towards the human race and nature.
�He has donated hundreds of millions of
dollars to charities and created the largest
software company in the�world.
However, for entrepreneurs he is a book to
be read and a religion to be preached.
His outlooks on life, work and society are
vital lessons.
Have the courage to dream, the strength to
execute your dreams and the ability to think
objectively.
�These lessons from Bill Gates will only
increase your chances of succeeding.
As according to Bill Gates, �Expectations
are a form of first-class truth: If people
believe it, it�s true.�
