Something To Remember

“There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat, and we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.”

This is the quote from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar that Paul Allen used to persuade Bill Gates to quit Harvard and set up their own software company.

Right from their school days Paul Allen and Bill Gates believed in the possibility of a PC in every house.The arrival of the Altair 8080 convinced Paul that the time was right to take a plunge.

The rest is history.So there’s something to allowing yourself to be swept along by historic currents.
