william henry gates iii

What life has taught us: Bill Gates was born in Seattle in the northwest corner of the United States. He attended Richmond Elementary School and Lakeside Middle School in Seattle. Bill was full of energy since he was a child. As early as infancy, he was able to shake the cradle by himself. He likes thinking very much since he was a child, and he can devote himself to something as soon as he is fascinated. From grandmother's persuasive enlightenment education to parents' painstaking efforts to find clubs and schools suitable for Bill Gates' talent development, all these provide fertile soil and fresh air for his talent development. Grandma especially likes playing games with clever little Bill, especially games involving some intelligence. She teaches teenage Bill checkers, chips, bridge and other things she likes to play. When playing games, grandma always likes to say to little Bill, "Think about it! Think about it! " She often applauds Bill for his next good move and playing a good hand of cards, and her grandmother often lets Bill Gates read books and tell him stories, from which Bill Gates benefits a lot. With the help and guidance of his grandmother, he became a wide-ranging and sleepless scholar-reading became a good way for him to kill energy. He likes the summer reading contest held in the library near his home very much. He always takes the first place among boys and occasionally wins the championship. My grandmother realized Bill Gates' potential in thinking and memory, and she always seized the opportunity to activate Bill's potential in this respect. Sometimes my grandparents and grandchildren go for a walk in the park, and my grandmother often exchanges chess skills with Bill Gates or reads famous works, so that Bill can look for newer methods or express more original and incisive opinions. Bill Gates' parents are also very concerned about their children's growth. They are more concerned about their children's growth and education in a simple way of life, and always stay with their children as much as possible after work. The family keeps playing all kinds of games, from chess to puzzles, almost all of which are puzzles. With the growth of his son's age, the family environment can no longer meet the further development of Bill Gates' talent. Little Bill sometimes blames his mother for her lack of wisdom! Therefore, parents turned their eyes to the society and actively searched for Bill's own space. In an activity, Bill Gates prepared a report for his class called Investing in Gates Limited ... This report almost became a family matter. His grandmother helped make the cover, and even his father helped. The atmosphere is very lively. After graduating from elementary school, his parents sent Bill Gates to Lakeside Middle School after asking for his advice. In Hubin Middle School, Bill is obsessed with computers, which will make him devote himself to his future life. When Bill Gates was studying in Hubin Middle School, he often arranged his studies according to his hobbies. Bill Gates works hard on his favorite subjects, such as math and reading, and he does well. Every time my parents saw the report card Bill got back, they didn't pull a long face and blame Bill Gates, even though they knew Bill would do better in some courses. After graduating from high school, Bill Gates really wants to go to Harvard University, which is his parents' greatest wish. Fortunately, Bill Gates' parents don't regard their children as their private property like other parents, so they must let them do what their parents like. After calm thinking, the parents gave up the idea of making their son a lawyer and let Bill Gates develop freely in the university field. This is a great help to Bill Gates. But a year later, Bill Gates' parents faced a bigger problem: Bill Gates was leaving Harvard, giving up his splendid studies and starting a computer company with others! 1March 3, 986, Microsoft officially went public. 1990, Microsoft introduced WINDOWS 3.0. 1995, Microsoft introduced the Windows 95 operating system, which is a truly epoch-making software. Let users get rid of tedious and boring DOS commands, thus making personal computers extremely simple and easy to use. The Way Forward was published on 1995, and it topped the The New York Times bestseller list for seven weeks in a row. Some predictions in the book have come true. According to overseas media reports, Gates once said that as a full-time philanthropist, his first stop was China. Farewell Speech When Microsoft was founded 33 years ago, Gates was also a developer. Today, Microsoft's position as the industry leader is also attributed to the developer of the Windows operating system. In his opening speech yesterday, Gates did not forget these heroes. "Microsoft's success lies in our relationship with developers." People who have been engaged in the IT industry for a long time should remember that Netscape was in full swing at 1995, and the browser.
