What his life journey has taught us:
“I failed in some subjects in exam, but my friend passed in all. Now he is an engineer in Microsoft and I am the owner of Microsoft.” quote by bill gates, taught us that you can be and do whatever you want It will just take a lot of determination and passion as we can see he just started as a man that was passionate about computers and technology and he overcame his obstacles and we can see where he is now.
Learning about his life has also taught me that even though life is short there is almost always a second chance so if you fail at something you can start again and try a second time but you need enough determination to keep on wanting to do that particular thing again.
Ending:
Makes me ask myself what I would do if I had that much money
