At a chat show for a television channel in New Delhi in December 2005, the worlds richest Man Bill Gates shared his words of Wisdom
- My success, part of it certainly, is that I have focused in on a few things.
- Life is not fair, get used to it.
- Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they'll give you as many chances as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life. Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself.
- Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.
- Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.
- There will be 'two societies' in the future: high-paid knowledge workers and low-paid service workers.
- If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.
