Bill Gates Biography

This is a documentary I found yesterday while searching for ‘World’s Greatest Money Maker’ . Personally I have never been drawn towards Bill Gates .In fact I’ve been repelled.Or it would be more correct to say that I have found his fans incompatible.I find hyper competitive people irritating.My own way is to compete to win if its absolutely necessary and if the game is truly a zero sum game.For the rest of the time I’m happy as long as I can cruise along on the world’s abundance.I really don’t need to win every scrabble game to feel happy.And speed tests are really not my thing.

Given my antipathy it’s no surprise I have never read Bill’s books.Watching this documentary is the first time I’ve spent studying Bill Gates.So far I just knew of him as a geek.I suppose if I’d ever bothered to think,it would have been obvious that he had to have some financial and strategic skills.But I’m sorry to say I was so put off him I didn’t bother.And it was my loss.I was surprised to find out from the documentary just how good a sales person he was.After watching the movie I can’t say I’m a fan but I can see where his competitiveness,ideas on family and philanthropy etc. come from.I’d recommend the movie on any Sunday afternoon.Here are the links: Read more of this post
