Life Story of Bill Gates

The owner of Microsoft software, Bill Gates is just one of the intelligent humans in the world, but the difference between other smart people is that Bill knows how to apply his intelligence. Bill's childhood was not so special except he was getting really bored in school even though had excellent grades in mathematics and science. Bill's parents helped him to move to private school, known for its intense academic environment because they knew that Bill was intelligent. That had a very important influence on Bill's life and the reason is that it was the first time he saw a computer.

Bill and his friends were very interested in computer programming and he and his friends formed "Programmers Group" in late 1968. After a few years, Bill and his very close friend Allen made new company Traf-O-Data. The project was developing a small computer to measure traffic flow. They made $20,000 from the project. In 1973, Bill left home because he went to Harvard University. He did well in one of the toughest mathematics courses inHarvard but he wasn't interested. He spent a lot of time in front of school's computer and he slept in the class. At the same time, his friend Allen kept pushing Bill to opening new software.
A couple of months later, Bill Gates decided to quit school and he formed Microsoft. Microsoft soft has a vision: "A computer on every desk and Microsoft software on every computer". Bill believes in hard work and doesn't trust lick or God's grace. He is one of the richest people in the world but the difference between him and other rich people is that Bill Gates is not greedy person. He is quite a giving person so he donated computers, internet andother kinds of funding. Bill donated 38 million dollars to Stanford University to build a computer institute in school. His plans to give eighty percent of money of all his earnings when he is about to go to heaven.
