Do you have computer at home? Do you notice the Microsoft logos on your desktop? Yes, that is the software created by a computer genius, Bill Gates. He is 180cm tall and he prefers reading encyclopedia. He admires Napolean. In the year of 1955, Bill Gates was born.

     He is indeed an industrious person. He always burnt the midnight oil by spending all his time with his friend. When he was thirteen years old, he worked in a computer company with his best friend, Paul. They helped the company to debug which can earn the income of 200 dollars per month. He is also capable to solve problem which other programmers couldn't do. Since that incident, he was known as 'Computer Genius' in America. He is so enthusiastic in computer. For instance, he was able to play tick-tae-toe using computer when he was 7 years old.

     According to the 'Wall Press', Bill Gates earns 283.7 billion dollars in 2002 and his staffs who work under Microsoft company went over 51,500 in the world. In 1973, he managed to study in the worldwide's most well-known university, Harvard. Everyone drives themselves into the ground just to study in this university. He campus life was still about computer only. He tied the knot with Melinda in 1999. He is lavish in donating money to the charity. He donates lots of money from part of his vast income for those who need help. He retired in 27 June 2008.

     Gates intended to spend his time creating software, but not in the classroom. As a result, he dropped out of Harvard in his junior year. In 1975, Micro-soft (later changed to Microsoft) which was founded by him and his long time friend Paul. Then, he worked on the company's next big product called DOS, which is a basic operating system. DOS led the company's first huge success.

     Soon DOS is the main operating system used by computer markers, making Microsoft a huge success and Gates a very wealthy man. Besides that, Gates is also an astute businessman. He is always looking for ways to expand his company. Therefore, Microsoft developed a variety of software applications, which ranging from word processing programs to internet browser. His efforts were paid off handsomely. These made him become the world's wealthiest person with an estimate of the net worth 50 billion dollars. that is so fascinating. The most incredible thing is, he continuously was the wealthiest person  in the world until 2007. The Time magazine even estimate his income, which is an astronomical figure. They found that Gates earns 250 dollars per minute, 2000 million per day and 78 billion per year.

     Even though Gates refused to follow his parents' footsteps as a lawyer or a lecturer, he would rather to be a computer programmer, his parents still always support him and respect his big decision in his life. Gates really makes me impressed. Since reading his biography, I find that there is always no gain without pain. If I were him, I don't know whether I could have these efforts. However, I will try my best to achieve the goal in my life just like him. :)
