Bill Gates retired on June 27th, 28. What is his image in the eyes of Microsoft colleagues? This is the CEO Ballmer who has been in charge of Microsoft for 28 years with him. He has the most say. "He is an introverted young man who doesn't like to talk much, but he is full of energy, especially at night. The situation at that time was that he was always ready to sleep when I woke up in the morning. " Ballmer described Bill Gates in this way in a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal. Ballmer is right, perhaps only vitality is the most critical factor of success, which is the best gift left by Bill Gates!

Bill Gates is the chairman and chief software architect of Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft is a global leader in personal computing and business computing software, services and Internet technology. In the last fiscal year ending in June 22, Microsoft's revenue reached US$ 28.37 billion, and it operated in 78 countries and regions, with more than 51,5 employees worldwide.

Gates was born on October 28th, 1955 and grew up in Seattle with his two sisters. Their father, William H. Gates II, is a lawyer in Seattle. Gates' late mother, Mary Gates, was a school teacher, a director of Washington University and the president of United Way International.

Gates studied in a public elementary school in Seattle and a private lakeside middle school. There, he discovered his interest in software and started computer programming at the age of 13.

In 1973, Gates was admitted to Harvard University. Now I have made good friends with steve ballmer, the CEO of Microsoft. While at Harvard, Gates developed a version of the BASIC programming language for the first microcomputer, -MITS Altair.

In his junior year in college, Gates left Harvard and devoted all his energy to Microsoft, which he and his childhood friend Paul Allen founded in 1975. Guided by the belief that computers will become the most important tool in every family and office, they began to develop software for personal computers. Gates' foresight and his foresight in personal computers have become the key to the success of Microsoft and the software industry. Under the leadership of Gates, Microsoft continues to develop and improve software technology, making software easier to use, more economical and more fun. The company is committed to long-term development, which can be seen from the current annual research and development expenditure of more than 5 billion US dollars.

in 1999, gates wrote the book "business @ the speed of thought: using a digital nervous system", which showed people how computer technology can solve business problems in a brand-new way. This book is published in more than 6 countries and 25 languages. Future Speed won wide acclaim and was listed as a best seller by The New York Times, USA-Today, The Wall Street Journal and Amazon.com. Gates' last book, The Road Ahead, published in 1995, once topped the The New York Times bestseller list for seven consecutive weeks.

Gates donated all the income from the two books to non-profit organizations to support education and skills training through science and technology.

In addition to his passion for computers and software, Gates is also interested in biotechnology. He is a member of the board of directors of ICOS, a company specializing in matrix and small molecule therapy in protein. He is also an investor in many other biotechnology companies. Gates also founded Corbis, which is researching and developing one of the largest visible information resources in the world-comprehensive digital archives of art and photography works from public and private collections around the world. In addition, Gates also invested in Teledesic with mobile phone pioneer Craig McCaw. This is an ambitious plan to use hundreds of low-orbit satellites to provide two-way broadband telecommunications services covering the whole world.

For Gates, philanthropy is also very important. He and his wife Melinda have donated $5.6 billion to set up a fund to support global charities in the fields of medical care, health and education. It is hoped that as mankind enters the 21st century, scientific and technological progress in these key fields will benefit all mankind. Up to today, the foundation established by Gates and his wife Melinda Gates has spent $1.73 billion on global health and more than $9 million on improving people's learning conditions, including purchasing computer equipment for Gates Library and providing Internet training and Internet access services for public libraries in low-income communities in the United States and Canada. In addition, more than $26 million will be spent on community projects in the Pacific Northwest, and more than $38 million will be spent on special projects and annual gift distribution activities.

Gates and Melinda French Gates got married on January 1st, 1994. They have three children. Gates loves reading and playing golf and bridge. Only Bill Gates in the world thinks that Buffett is not a miser

His wealth is even more a myth. At the age of 39, he became the richest man in the world and topped Forbes for 13 consecutive years. This myth is like dazzling fireworks in the night sky, which stung the eyes of hundreds of millions of people. He is the chairman and chief software designer of Microsoft. Microsoft is a worldwide leader in providing software, services and Internet technology for personal computing and business computing. By the end of fiscal year 28, Microsoft's revenue was nearly $62 billion, and the total number of employees in 6 countries and regions exceeded 5,.

ranking in the rich list over the years

Bill Gates, also known as Sir William Henry Gates III KBE, is an American businessman and billionaire. He is the founder of Microsoft. According to Forbes magazine, Gates is the richest man in the world (before 28). Another statistic says that Gates' wealth alone is more than the total wealth of the poorest 5% population in the world. It has been calculated that Bill Gates' wealth can buy 32 space shuttles, or 344 Boeing 747s, shoot 268 Titanic films and buy 156, Rolls-Royce continental luxury cars.

the life of gates

nowadays, if you have a personal computer on your desk, almost all of it has Microsoft's operating system installed in it. Bill Gates made personal computers a daily necessities, and thus changed the way of work, life and even communication of every modern person. Therefore, some people say that Bill Gates' contribution to software is just like Edison's contribution to light bulbs.

Bill Gates spent his childhood in Seattle, Washington, USA. Seattle is the base of Boeing Company, and nearly half of the employees in the city work in this company, so people also call Seattle Boeing City. It ranks alongside San Francisco and Los Angeles as one of the three major gateways on the west coast of the United States.

Gates, a 7-year-old boy with sandy hair, likes to read the Encyclopedia of World Books repeatedly. He often reads this big book, which is almost 1/3 of his weight, for hours on end, word by word. He is often lost in thought, and somehow he seems to feel strongly that what a magical and magical world there is in small words and huge books! Words and symbols can record and spread countless interesting things of predecessors and people all over the world. He thought, human history will be longer and longer, so the encyclopedia in the future will be bigger and heavier! Is there any good way to make a magic box as big as it is, and how convenient it is to put a large encyclopedia in it in an all-encompassing way? This wonderful spark of thought was later realized for him, and it was smaller than a cigarette box, just a small chip.

Gates is reading more and more books and thinking more and more questions. Once he suddenly said to his fourth-grade classmate Carl Edmund: It is better to be an oak tree standing on a bald hill than to be a grass in the lawn. Because the grass is the same and has no personality, while the oak tree is tall and straight, holding its head high in the sky. He insisted on keeping a diary and writing down his thoughts at any time. At a young age, he was often as thoughtful as an adult. He realized a long time ago that human life is hard-won, and he should cherish this precious opportunity to come to the world. In his diary, he wrote: Life is a grand appointment. For a person, the most important thing in life is to keep the supreme promise put forward by the accumulated wisdom of human beings ... So what is the promise? Is to do something earth-shattering. In another diary, he wrote: Perhaps, human life is a burning fire, and all one can do is try his best to save something from this fire. This awareness of catching up with life is extremely rare among children of the same age.

Gates's promise is good, and his pursuit of what he wants to save in life is reflected in his daily actions, that is, any homework at school and homework assigned by teachers, whether playing musical instruments, writing compositions or sports competitions, he will devote all his efforts and spend all his time to finish it best.

The teacher assigned his fourth-grade students a composition about the special function of the human body, which required four or five pages. As a result, Gates used the encyclopedia in his father's study and other books on medicine, physiology and psychology to write more than 3 pages in one breath. Another time, the teacher assigned his classmates to write a story of no more than 2 pages. Gates tried to extrapolate and wrote a magical and tortuous story of up to 1 pages, which surprised both teachers and classmates! People say he: No matter what Gates does, he always likes to reach the top, and if he doesn't speak, he will make a splash, otherwise he won't be content.

Gates also showed this spirit of not falling behind in sports and social activities. There was a boy scout's 8-kilometer hiking March in the summer vacation, which lasted for a week. He wore a pair of brand-new high boots, which obviously didn't fit well. The 13-kilometer hiking March every day, climbing mountains and crossing forests, made him suffer a lot. On the first night, his heel was worn out and many blisters appeared on his toes. He gritted his teeth and kept going. The next night, his feet were very red and swollen, and his cracked skin was bleeding. His companions advised him to stop, but he shook his head, just asked the team doctor for some cotton wool and gauze to wrap it up, and asked for some painkillers to take, and continued on his way. In this way, he insisted on a checkpoint on the way. When the leader found that his foot was seriously inflamed, he ordered medical treatment and stopped the March. Gates' mother came from Seattle, and when she saw his feet festering, she cried sadly and complained why her son didn't stop marching earlier. Gates said simply, "It's a pity that I didn't reach my destination this time."

In 1969, the Seattle Lakeside Middle School where Gates was located was the first school in China to offer computer courses. At that time, there was no PC, and the school only got a terminal, which was bought by collecting a large amount of money from the society and parents. This terminal is connected to a small electronic computer PDP--1 owned by other units. It can only be used for a short time every day, and the cost per hour is high. Like discovering the New World, Gates got into the computer room to operate the terminal whenever he had time, almost to the point of forgetting to eat or sleep. At the age of 13, he independently compiled the first computer program, which can play the game of soft landing of the moon on the computer screen. July 2th of this year happened to be the day when American astronauts Ames Lang and Aldrin took the lunar module, representing the first time that human beings set foot on the surface of the moon. Gates thought to himself, I can't go to the moon by spaceship, so let me use the computer to realize my dream of going to the moon!

but it didn't last long.
