Success cannot be achieved without aspiration, a hard-working attitude, motivation, and inspiration. Many businessmen and entrepreneurs have talked about how they keep themselves motivated — which is necessary for them to realise the vision of their businesses. Having a couple of words or expressions can help entrepreneurs the help they need to flourish and work more enthusiastically.
Bill Gates' life offers such inspiration. One of the most consequential entrepreneurs to have been ever born, Gates left his education at Harvard University to go after the dream of transforming the future through innovation. But his interest in technology and drive to make people's lives easier through technology trumped critics and led him to make a framework that would change present-day history.
Bill Gates is a business magnate, investor, author, philanthropist, humanitarian, and chief organizer of Microsoft Corporation, and he has worn a lot of hats and encouraged millions of people. Gates is one of the most well-known entrepreneurs and trailblazers of the microcomputer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s. He is also an author, with some of his books including The Road Ahead were among The New York Times' bestseller list.
