The rare Bill Gates documentary has been fascinated by the name Bill Gates since he was a child. The founder of Microsoft, the richest man in the world, when he was studying, he only knew that he was a genius programmer. Re-brainwashing, Gates succeeded because he had a good mother, and the business of installing software for IBM was introduced by his mother. Later, due to anti-monopoly, the boastful Ballmer became the CEO of Microsoft. At that time, Microsoft slowly Disengaged from attention, Bill Gates has turned into the largest philanthropist on the planet. He only occasionally strolls around the company, thinking about the next direction and so on.
In fact, the above are all facts, but the more you pay attention to the facts, the more you let yourself go from one biased fact to another biased fact. However, because of my interest in computers, this name is always in my mind, and there must be an echo. I also watched this documentary about Uncle Gates for the first time.
To really understand a person, you really need a good documentary or biography to connect personal experiences. This "Into Bill: Decoding Bill Gates " is really good.
Having said so much nonsense, in fact, the biggest gain after watching this film is what ordinary people can learn from Gates. Aside from a good background and talent, if you have certain pursuits yourself, many things about Gates and the Gates family are really worth learning. As an ordinary person, from my point of view:
1. The habit of lifelong learning, reading more, and establishing a knowledge framework can effectively improve one's own ability.
2. If there is a child in the future, guide the child to do things that are not good at character. For example, Gates is actually very introverted, but his mother took him out to socialize and play more since he was a child, so that he can accumulate feelings and feelings early. Experience. (I personally experienced this, thanks to my uncle and aunt, who often took me to various "wine bureaus" when I was young)
3. Stay focused. When Gates was young, he basically focused all his attention on Microsoft. Maybe he was lucky and found a career that he loved and even fanatical about. But if he wakes up as an ordinary person, if he does not have the A focused character should also be cultivated as soon as possible.
4. Make more friends. From Gates' recollection, Kent and Allen really had a great influence on his growth.
The above points, I think as an ordinary person, there is a high probability that they can do it.
In addition, there are a few surprises after watching the documentary. As a successful person, we will magnify his success even more, such as money, a happy family, a mansion, etc., but Uncle Gates has actually experienced a lot of hardships.
1. After graduating from high school, I lost my good friend Kent from childhood. I think this blow should be quite huge.
2. My mother died of breast cancer when I was in my 30s.
3. I had a falling out with my best friend Paul Allen because of the company's development. Although there were parties and meetings in the middle, the knot was finally opened, but the best friend was not able to meet for the last time before he passed away. I still feel sorry.
4. After decades of hard work, he was exhausted by anti-monopoly and retired early. (Fortunately, I have a good wife and started philanthropy. Although the company has been criticized for not innovating and missing the mobile Internet, Microsoft has become a muffled and rich company, and its market value is still trillions of dollars.)
5. Needless to say, toilets, polio, and nuclear energy, yellow yellow, recurrence recurrence. Gates must have countless grass and mud horses in his heart. (Can I still do something in my lifetime?)
Fortunately, there is his mother's guidance before his death, "The definition of success is what kind of person you become", Uncle Gates' mother has been supporting him to move forward.
My understanding of this sentence is that it doesn't matter how the result is, what matters is whether you put in the effort for what you expected. Just like Bill Gates also said before the end of his favorite book, "The Great Gatsby", the protagonist of Gatsby's ending was tragic, but he paid money and money for his favorite Daisy. Effort and even life. And Uncle Gates is now burning his own life for the entire human race, so why is such a stubborn uncle not admired?
PS: I found that Uncle Gates likes to drink Coca-Cola, and he still drinks a lot. Now I can't wait to buy a can.
PPS: This year's new crown pneumonia continues to make Uncle Gates haggard.
