William Henry “ Bill Gates”
III is an American business magnate, philanthropist, investor, computer
programmer and inventor. He was born to an upper middle-class family and he
started out as an ordinary child with a keep interest for developing software
gaming programs at the tender age of 13. Then, after he being banned by the
Computer Center Corporation along with three other his schoolmates for
exploiting bugs within Computer Center Corporation’s operating system to attain
free computer time and he was offered to work for CCC in exchange for
additional time. After that, Bill Gates worked with Information Sciences to
configure a computer programs. In 1975, Gates and Paul Allen as a co-founded Microsoft
which becomes the world’s largest PC software company. In addition to, Gates
held the positions of chairman, CEO and chief software architect during his
career at Microsoft. Besides that, he also the largest individual shareholder
until May 2014. He also has authored and co-authored books.
In 1976, Gates and Allen
relocated to Washington and continued to develop programming language software
for a miscellany of systems. However, Gates was actively involved in writing
the code as well. After scoring the deal with IBM PC, Microsoft develops its
standalone Operating Systems which is OS in 1985. Starting in 1987, Gates was
included in the Forbes list of the world’s wealthiest people and the real net
worth in 2015 by Bill Gates is 79.2 USD. Moreover, he is highly popular and
virtually recognizable in the most unprecedented regions of the world and also
the founding father of Microsoft. Gates is one of the best-known as
entrepreneurs of the software programming. As an entrepreneur, Bill Gates has networked
trait in his minds. Networked in this context would mean to have interactions
with other people to exchange information and develop contacts, especially to
further his career. Besides that, Bill Gates and Melinda gates foundation is
dedicated to the improvement of global health and education and donates
multimillion dollars every year. So, Gates made its possible for almost
everyone around the world to get a personal computer and access the internet.
One after the other, there is a difference between looking at something
and actually seeing what is there. So. The mind filters information and a
person can look at something and not really see it. People can see what is in
their path in front of them. In order to see more people need to override the
mind filters and force themselves to be more observant. Hence, observant is one
of the traits that entrepreneur must have. Observant may refer to making an
observer and having observance of anything. For example, Bill Gates focused and
invigorated sought out product strategies to communicate brand awareness and
never ceasing until Microsoft became the king of its industrial castle. Soon
after that, Gates always verbally combative and never hesitating to throw the
odds down when someone put his company’s long-term interest in danger. He
operated with a sarcasm meter that fired away mercilessly if he felt a proposed
business plan had more holes in it than Swiss cheese.
Then, Bill Gates was a person that has a good visionary in one of
his characteristic that make his become the most successful entrepreneur in the
world. This visionary skill has let Bill Gates become the richest man in the
world. While Bill Gates was 13 years old, his parents decided to send him to
Seattle’s Lakeside School. In the same times, a computer company in Seattle had
offered to provide computer time to the student. The Mother’s Club had
purchased a teletype terminal for the student to use it. Bill Gates take the
opportunity to use the teletype terminal which had made him became entranced
with what a computer can do. He had written a tic tac toe program in BASIC
computer language. Bill Gates meet his future partner, Paul Allen and became
good friend with him at Lakeside School Both of them with s high visionary
skill had their school computer privileges revoked for taking the advantages of software
glitches and obtain free computer time
from that Seattle’s computer company. After that they were offered debug the
program by their school and they take the chance to developed a payroll
program for that Seattle’s computer
company. When Bill Gates was 15 years old, he and Paul Allen had already
planned to start their business by developed “Traf-o-Data”. However, he had to
delay his business due to his parents wanted him to finish his school and
became a lawyer in future. Bill Gates knew that there were great chances for
them to start his career when he saw the article about Altair 00 minicomputer
kit on the edition of Popular Electronics magazine which showed by Paul Allen.
Bill Gates and Paul Allen contacted the MITS company and offered themselves to
write the software tat can run the Altair computer. Lastly, Bill Gates was
hired at MITS. In 1975, Micro-Soft was formed by Bill Gates and Paul Allen. In
November 1980, Bill Gates had met with IBM and convincing the IBM that Bill
Gates’ company could meet their needs after IBM looked for software that can
operate their upcoming personal computer (PC). Bill Gates saw the chances to
develop Microsoft by making the Microsoft as the exclusive licensing agent and
full owner of the software in IBM PC. He had gained a big profit by proposing
that IBM pays a licensing fee for choices of the software sold with their
computer. The visionary of Bill Gates that can grab any chances had made
Microsoft’s growth exploded between 1978.
Next, Bill Gates was also an open risk
taker. He has met a lot of risk and challenges among his career. However, he
has successfully solved all of the problems and became the most successful
people in the world. The first risk that Bill Gates take is when he stopped his
study. Bill Gates had made a decision to stop his study in law at Harvard
University. He stopped his study and worked for MITS. This decision might spoil
his future life if he was fired by MITS. However, Bill Gates dare to face the
risk to achieve his dream. Another example that showed that Bill Gates was an
open risk taker is when he and Paul Allen went to MITS, proclaiming that they
were working on BASIC software programme that can run an Altair computer even
that they didn’t have a Altair to work with the code to run it. However, Bill
Gates take the risk to do the demonstration
and do the test run at Albuquerque even though he had never tried it out
on Altair computer. The third risk that take by Bill Gates is he meet and
convincing the IBM them that he and his company could meet their needs even
that Microsoft had not developed the basic operating system that could run the
IBM’s new computer. Bill Gates take the risk that may get sued then make a deal with a software developer by
making Microsoft to became the exclusive licensing agent and the full owner of
the software by no telling them of the IBM deal. Bill Gates was an open risk taker when he
created a new software format that was similar to the Macintosh system, which
was introduced by Apple Computer Corporation. Even that he had been sued by the
Apple company, but Microsoft had prevailed in the court.
Lastly, failure is a problem that causes
us stress and lead to despair. But, I felt let failure manifests first in the
business because we will be able to know that we make mistakes. so, do not
despair advance as not necessarily failed once will fail forever. we need to
mature and rational thinking about the business and do not give up because
fortune is everywhere. The characteristics of a successful entrepreneur are no
initiative themselves, can see and seize the opportunity, perseverance,
information, emphasizing the high quality of work, commitment to the agreement,
grit-oriented, systematic planning, creative problem solving, self-confident,
assertive, convince others and use strategy-leverage strategy.
Bill Gates is founded Microsoft with Paul
Allen. There are launched Microsoft about 40 years already. Bill Gates
left his daily job Microsoft in 2008 and 2014, he stepped down as chairman
until now. He also began serving as technology advisor. In 2010, Bill gates
Melinda challenged the global health and I also respect that now he become
Forbes who was people richest in the world.
