Bill Gates Tells the Secret of His Success

Bill Gates, the rich­est per­son of the world (net worth 46,5 bil­lion UD dol­lars — Forbes 2005), was born on 28th Octo­ber, 1955. His zodiac sign is Scor­pio, and he is pas­sion­ate, very hard­work­ing and benev­o­lent. The world has been talk­ing about his secrets of suc­cess for so many years. Let’s here talk about what Bill Gates him­self told about the secret of suc­cess. The biggest busi­ness chan­nel of Indian media NDTV Profit arranged a talk show with Bill Gates and the most suc­cess­ful busi­ness exec­u­tive of Asia Narayana Murthy. When a busi­ness­man from the audi­ence asked Bill Gates the secret of suc­cess the great tycoon pre­sented a five-point mas­ter for­mula of suc­cess: 1. Pas­sion, 2. Intel­li­gence, 3. Integrity, 4. A Good Team, and 5. Lead­er­ship. Now from whom can you learn bet­ter than the Bill Gates?

1. FIND OUT YOUR PASSION

No mind-boggling suc­cess story has been writ­ten till now with­out a great pas­sion. Pas­sion gen­er­ates focus – so nec­es­sary to get suc­cess in any field. Bill Gates him­self has immense pas­sion for com­puter and soft­ware. When he was admit­ted in Lake­side School he got hooked to the com­puter there and sur­passed the knowl­edge of his teacher within a week. Amaz­ing pas­sion indeed! Soon he wrote his first pro­gramme, at the age of thir­teen. Accord­ing to great sci­en­tist Albert Ein­stein genius is one per­cent inspi­ra­tion and ninety-nine per­cent per­spi­ra­tion. But with­out pas­sion it is very dif­fi­cult to work hard. When you recog­nise your real hid­den tal­ent and work to develop that you become pas­sion­ate, and you are self-motivated to work hard and per­spire. When you have pas­sion the work becomes a fun for you and you want to enjoy it more and more.
