I wasn't his fan but now I worship him after reading his rules.
Please read them.
Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually
have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

evidently he did'nt tell you how he became the richest man= You know what a VIRUS is. After he sold his new computer he put his stepping blocks into his main system and everyone that bought a micro-soft computer had the virus, but he said no problem I'll fix it now but next time it'll cost you $29.95 per unit. He did this about 3 times and became the richest man.

Those might be some of the truest things i've ever heard.
He's not perfect, because he learned some of those things probably the hard way

i just wish he would do SOMETHING in this country where he made all his millions. sure, AIDS in africa is great, more power to him, but i wish he would give some trailers to the people in the south after the tornado in Arizona, or something like that.
