Do not Imitate Bill Gates!

There are many people who already know how great Bill Gates is. He was the founder of Microsoft Corporation, one of the biggest IT Company ever exist in the world. Bill Gates was also chosen as the richest man in the world for 13 times in a row. However, this year, his position was taken by Warren Buffet because Bill Gates has wasted lots of his shares in order to get Yahoo! His focus in the software world is inevitable. For the rest of his life, he’s only focusing in the software business and not even once should he look on other alternative businesses. Born on 28th October 1955, Bill Gates managed to build Microsoft from nothing into a giant company with the selling of the products almost reaching US$ 51,12 million in June 2007. That money is considered equal to 70% of our Nation’s Basic Budget (APBN) in this year. Through Microsoft Corporation, he could also hired more than 78 thousand employees that spread in almost 105 countries all around the world. Those are some reasons that make people admire what Bill Gates has achieved in his life. However, there is only one thing that he couldn’t have so far in his life and that will be a bachelor degree from Harvard University. He used to study in Harvard, but for some reason he decided to quit the college and chose to build his own business. However, 30 years later, he finally managed to get his degree and during his speech in front of the audience, he told other students not to imitate him for quitting the college. Nevertheless, studying in college is important for students to widen their knowledge about anything they need to know in this world and if you have graduated from college, make sure that you use wisely the chance to work in a company so that you will know how to build your own business.
