Bill Gates is the richest man in the
world, after founding Microsoft in 1975. He is now
worth $76 billion, as Microsoft has
risen to create the number 1 operating system brand Windows, which has been
re-developed several times.
Microsoft also created Xbox, which has
become one of the most popular, if not the most popular gaming system in the
world.read it
I’ve scoured the net and compiled a
list of 10 Bill Gates tips that he has given to people
at one point or another in his life time, to show them what it takes to become
successful and wealthy. He is the wealthiest
man in the world after all, so you’d be pretty stupid
not to listen to what he says!read it
1) Start as Early as Possible
Bill Gates was only 13 years old when
he started working with computers. When you start something at an early point
in your life, you become molded around it. Not only will you have a chance of
becoming successful sooner than most people, but you would also be less likely
to want to give up.
If you’ve had a dream that you start
working towards when you’re young, you will be
more immune to people telling you what you can or can’t do. By the time you’re an adult and
people actually start to take more notice of what you’re working towards,
you will be stubborn enough to just ignore them.read it
The time that you’re most influenced by
others is when you’re younger, so if you’ve seen things on T.V or on the
internet where others have become
successful,
this will be imprinted in your mind and you won’t have doubt about what you can
or can’t do.
2) Enter in Partnerships
Bill Gates was very fond of
forming partnerships with people, people who were the top dog and that made
Gates become the ‘Sidekick’. He was happy with
this, because it unlocked new opportunities for him and the potential to learn
from other successful entrepreneurs who could teach him a
thing or two.read it
Not only that, but it meant that he built relationships with people that
would definitely be able to help him out with his future endeavors.
3) You Will Not Make
$60,000 a Year Right out of High School
Let’s be honest, you’re not going to
make $60,000 a year straight out of high school, so if for some reason you
think you will, stop kidding yourself. No matter how much education you have,
you still need experience to work your way at the top.
You won’t get appointed CEO of a
multi-national company just
because you have a degree in business management.read it
That’s a position that you need to
earn, by either starting your own company and working hard to take it to the
top, or working your way up within a company and proving yourself to people.
4) Be Your Own Boss as
Soon as Possible
Bill Gates became a boss at a fairly
early age. He deserved it, and it put him in an excellent position with pure
control over his success.
“IF YOU DON’T BUILD YOUR
DREAM, SOMEONE ELSE WILL HIRE YOU TO BUILD THEIRS.” – BILL
GATES
5) Don’t Whine About Your
Mistakes, Learn from Them
“IF YOU
MESS UP, IT’S NOT YOUR PARENTS’ FAULT,
SO DON’T WHINE ABOUT YOUR MISTAKES, LEARN FROM THEM.” – BILL
GATES
What is the pointing in blaming other
people for your mistakes? Who are you trying to fool? Your mistakes are on you,
they are not anyone else’s fault, so stop blaming other people just to try and
rid your conscience of guilt.read it
Mistakes are made to be learnt from.
You now know what or what not to do in the same situation when it rolls around
for a second time and believe me, in most cases it will roll around again.
6) Be Committed and
Passionate
I think this is always included by
every entrepreneur as a good bit of
advice. You need to be committed to what you love and have great passion for
what you do.read it
The successful people in this world
make it look so easy because they absolutely love what they are doing. If
you’re finding things too stressful and too hard, then I’m not sure you’re
working on the right thing.
7) Life is the Best
School, Not University or College
No matter how many books you read, no
matter how many tests you take, nothing from university or college can properly
prepare you for life in the real world.read it
“IF YOU THINK YOUR
TEACHER IS TOUGH, WAIT UNTIL YOU GET A BOSS. HE DOESN’T HAVE TENURE.” – BILL
GATES
Real life jobs and bosses does not just
involve you studying and them
teaching you.
It’s real life work that you need to be able to carry out, otherwise you will
be fired. End of.
8) Be Nice to Nerds
“BE NICE TO NERDS.
CHANCES ARE YOU’LL END UP WORKING FOR ONE.” – BILL
GATES
It’s true, people who you’d probably
class as ‘nerds’ are actually the ones who will work the hardest, be the
smartest, and be determined to succeed.read it
If you’re horrible to nerds then you’re
basically taking your chances with fate, because you could
easily end up working for one, or even apply for a position at a company who is
run by someone you know and have been horrible to in the past.
Still think you have a chance of
getting the job?
9) TV is Not Real Life
“TELEVISION IS NOT REAL
LIFE. IN REAL LIFE PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAVE TO LEAVE THE COFFEE SHOP AND GO TO
JOBS.” – BILL GATES
You need to stop getting sucked into
Television and believing that what you’re seeing in some cases may actually be
what people do in real life.read it
Real life is tough and anybody who’s
anywhere near successful will not be sitting around in coffee shops all day
talking to their friends. They will be out working the grind to pay their bills
and improve their financial situation.
10) Life is Not Fair
“LIFE IS NOT FAIR. GET
USED TO IT.” – BILL GATES
No matter how hard you work in life,
there will always be times where things don’t go your way, perhaps through no
fault of your own. Things that you cannot control. You will get
knocked down, but you need to be able to stand up.read it
Life isn’t fair. It’s a test, a game,
a risk.
If you fall down and don’t bother getting back up, you don’t deserve to be
successful. Winners know that life isn’t fair and they will keep getting back
up until they’ve made it.
