Bill Gates, with Paul Allen, founded the world's biggest software business, Microsoft, and subsequently the richest man in the world.
BACKGROUND:
Bill Gates is born on 28 October, 1955, in Seattle, Washington. He grew up in an upper middle-class family, with two sister. Since start from a child, Bill Gates has showed his enthusiasm in reading books, exploring and investigate the knowledge through spending large portion of his time on reading the reference book and encyclopedia. He has an excellent grade and performance in school. However, he seemed bored and withdrawn himself. His parent started to concern his behavior and sent him to Seattle’s Lakeside School when he turned 13. He met Paul Allen in school’s computer lab and due to the common enthusiasm over computer, they became fast friend. During that time, Bill Gates showed his talent by developing a payroll program and scheduling program. In the age of 13, Bill Gates went into business with Paul Allen. They developed “Traf-o-Data”, which can help to monitor the traffic pattern in Seattle. However, Bill Gates’s parents stop him from doing business and wanted him finished school and become a lawyer. Bill Gates enrolled at Harvard University. Although he took the lawyer cause, but he seldom study what he chose. Instead, he spend much of his time in computer lab. At time time, joined Paul Allen, who was working for Honeywell. They immersed them self with the possibility that this computer could create in the world of personal computing. They contact the MITS’s company, which made Altair. They have been asked for demonstration by the company’s president. After Allen wrked at MITS, Bill Gates decided to follow him and dropped himself out from the Harward. This disappointed his parents. In 1975, both of them formed the partnership with name Microsoft, which is well-known today.
THE WAY TO SUCCESS AND HIS COMPANY:
Though BASIC software program for the Altair computer, they netted the company a fee and royalties. Bill Gates found that there are only small amount of people who are using BASIC in the Altair computer are actually had paid for it. He thought the free distribution of software will demotivate the programmers to write a better software and he advocated that the software are needed to be sold. At the same time, Bill Gates has a poor relationship with MITS president Ed Roberts because of they had a clash on software development and direction of business. In 1977, Roberts sold MITS to the other company. Bill gates and Paul Allen sue the new owner of this company in order to retain the software right that they have developed for Altair. In 1978, Bill Gates was in his age 23, he moved company to Bellevue Washington, with 25 employees. He successfully to place himself as the head of Microsoft with grossed 2.5 million US dollar. In 1980, IBM invited Microsoft to collaborate and operate the upcoming personal computer. Due to the lack of operating system that can run IBM’s computer, Bill Gates bought an operating system that can function same like the IBM’s PC. He make deal with the owner of the developer without telling them about the IBM deal. Bill gates has been sued for hiding the important information. He admitted it and paid an undisclosed compensation. In 1981, Bill Gates became the president and chairman of the board, Paul Allen became the executive vice-president. In the same year, Apple collaborate with Microsoft to develop software for Macintosh computers. With the experience of sharing knowledge, Microsoft able to develop Windows. In 1983, Microsoft was going global with offices in Great Britain and Japan, and with 30 percent of the world's computers running on its software.
THE REASONS WHY I CHOOSE BILL GATES:
Firstly, focus and be hardworking on absorbing knowledge from all sources that you can reach is a must. We can easily see this characteristic since he was still a small boy. Bill Gates was willing to scarify his playing time with his peers, withdrawing himself out from the others and fully immersed himself in all kind of reference books and encyclopedias. He knows how much precious the time is and he filled himself with whatever he needs.
Secondly, Bill Gates masterly aligned himself with those who has the same ambitious and interest. Even though the characteristic of his and Paul Allen is a huge difference, and the Paul Allen actually is his senior, but the gap between them still can be narrowed through the enthusiasm on computer. They shared the knowledge and investigated the computer program together. Eventually, they became the good partner in doing business when came to their adulthood.
Thirdly, Bill Gates is good at using his own infective power to persuade and influence other decision. When Bill Gates still 23, he was invited to co-operate with the Apple to develop software. However, due to his young age, his potential future partner can’t recognize him out at the first place before meeting, he even has been assigned to make coffee. Fortunately, his good communication skill and well-preparation has brought him with the admiration and the contract to deal.
