Today, I watched Bill Gates' documentary "Approaching Bill" produced by netflix in one breath. There are three episodes in total. I have read books related to Bill Gates' growth experience before, but this documentary obviously gave me a better understanding of Bill. Let’s start with the poster of the documentary. A few words on the poster, carefully read the content, it is very interesting to write. Looking at Bill Gates' face again, the code of 01 is the binary code used by the computer, which means his computer brain. The headline word at the top of the poster is also the font displayed on the computer screen. The design at the beginning of this film is also very interesting. It simulates the windows 95 form and operation, and windows is also Bill Gates' lifelong career. Born Gates was born into a wealthy family and his mother was very social. Although he is a tech guy and likes to be alone, his parents often forced him to take him out to social events as a child. In his later growth, because of his mother's strong social skills, it also helped him a lot in his career. Marriage When Melinda and Gates first met, Melinda had a boyfriend. Gates was busy with her career, and both of them were busy with their own affairs. They met occasionally and did not waste each other's time. A year later, the relationship between the two gradually deepened, and Melinda proposed to either get married or break up. Interestingly, Gates actually wrote on the whiteboard the advantages of getting married and not getting married, and he finally chose to get married. After marriage, Gates still devoted all his energy to his work and paid less attention to his family. Gates built a mansion, but as mentioned in the film, it was more like a villa for a bachelor. Melinda often takes her children at home alone. She said a sentence in the film: "I can't take it anymore, you are always not at home." Although Melinda is an extremely intelligent, educated and talented, and very optimistic woman. Although we also saw the Gates couple join hands in major events to show their love in the media, but in May this year, we saw the official announcement of Gates' divorce. The story will develop to this ending, in fact, it is an inevitable result. His career was as lucky as his poker game. His grandma learned a word from poker that will make you more likely to win, and he's applied it to his career. The saying is: You focus your energy on what you need and you will eventually succeed. Personality and Life Gates is very fond of touching and understanding complex things, and he likes to think about problems from unusual angles. Gates loves to read and prefer a challenge. And when Gates encountered difficulties in doing things, he always said to himself, I have to work harder, and I will never give up. about Reading, Gates likes books on health, energy and climate. He would give himself a thought week every once in a while, retreating, being alone, reading, reading and thinking. He will bring a bag of books and do thematic in-depth readings to help him understand technology and the future. And it will do a lot of thematic reading, the reading speed is extremely fast, and it can deeply learn courses in different fields. For those esoteric and incomprehensible books, he would even buy all the author's works for in-depth reading and writing notes. As for the three efforts made by the Gates Foundation—renovating toilets, eliminating polio, and designing a safe nuclear power plant as the center, although Gates has spent a lot of money and energy, it is still difficult, just as he predicted As set up, he is always giving himself new challenges. For the things he loves, he is very stubborn and never gives up. This is not only his greatest strength, but also, in a sense, his weakness.
