Dr. Johnson, his father runs a big second-hand book stall. Once, there was a program not far away, and everyone went to the market. It is raining. His father wants Dr. John to distribute some books and transport them to the market. His father asked him to go three times, but Dr. Johnson was absorbed in reading a thick and big book at this moment, pretending not to hear or pay attention. His father said with a sigh that Dr. Johnson was eighteen years old. Fifty years later, one day at eleven o'clock at noon, the local people saw the bloated old man kneeling in the street. He put his hat under his arm, put his crutch aside, bowed his head in the sun and burst into tears. At this time, Dr. Johnson became famous and everyone came to see him. He said to everyone: Fifty years ago, on the same day and at the same time, I did not listen to my father, and now I am kneeling here to confess!

Gates dropped out of school and founded Microsoft in just 20 years, becoming the richest man in the world. This has been praised by Americans since then? The man sitting on the top of the world? I never got down from this seat again. I sat for 12 years.
The internet is still full of charm.
In fact, Gates' life as the richest man in the world is full of twists and turns. Before the Internet bubble appeared in 1998, Gates' wealth had reached nearly 1000 billion dollars. In 2000, the internet craze began to fade, Microsoft's share price fell by nearly 63%, and Gates' worth also shrank by nearly half. Although Gates still occupies the position of the richest man in the world, the gap with the second place is getting smaller and smaller. At that time, people predicted that Gates would give up sooner or later with the bursting of the Internet bubble? The best in the world? The throne.
However, things did not develop as people imagined. Since 2003, the strong economic recovery in the United States has driven the recovery of the Internet industry. Not to mention the rising stars such as Google, which has repeatedly created miracles, Microsoft's performance in the stock market is also very eye-catching, and Gates' wealth has once again risen. In the past year, Gates' wealth has increased by nearly 8%.
Don't put your eggs in the same basket.
Warren. Buffett once said of Bill Gates: If he sells hamburgers instead of software, he will also become the king of hamburgers in the world. ? The implication is that Microsoft didn't make Gates, but its business talent made him the richest man in the world.
For financial management, Gates naturally has his own set. Because of his confidence in the future of Microsoft, Gates still invests most of his wealth in the company's stock. Although he is no longer the CEO of Microsoft, as the chief architect of Microsoft, he still dominates the development direction and strategic planning of the company. But smart, he will also cash out some stocks and sell them at a good price. According to the stock market transaction records, Gates sold 6,543,800+shares of Microsoft in the open market last month, with a profit of nearly $27 million.
Of course, a smart person like Gates would never put? Put the eggs in the basket? Yes Long before the Internet bubble burst, the visionary Gates began to diversify his investments. Gates set up an investment company on 1995. It is understood that the portfolio value managed by the company is10 billion US dollars, a large part of which is invested in the bond market with stable income, mainly national debt.
Gates is optimistic about the digital and biotechnology industries that represent the new economy, but he does not exclude the traditional economy when investing, especially the heavy industry sector with stable performance. Gates once acquired a 7.8% stake in Newport News Shipbuilding Company through his own investment company, and later these shares almost doubled; His investment in the Canadian national railway company also brought him rich returns. In less than a year, his share price rose by about 1/3. In addition, Gates also likes to invest in public utility companies with strong market risk resistance. Gates' interest in scientific innovation also makes him take medicine and biotechnology industry as an important investment direction.
Claiming to make good use of every penny
Someone has calculated, such as Bill? How did Gates spend so much money? The conclusion is that he can buy a 3 1.57 space shuttle, or 344 Boeing 747s, make 268 Titanic movies, and buy a 654,380+0.56 million Rolls-Royce Bentley continental luxury car. But in fact, the extremely rich Gates and his wife live a frugal life. The only luxury is their $53 million mansion on the outskirts of Seattle. But according to people who have been to Gates' house, the furnishings in the mansion are quite simple, not as magnificent as most people think. Gates once said:? I will spend every money I earn well, and I won't waste a penny. ?
In the past few years, Gates has donated a lot of his personal wealth to charity. According to statistics, Gates has so far donated nearly $29 billion to global charities, making him the most generous rich man in the world. At present, Bill and Melinda are named after the Gates? The Gates Foundation is the largest non-governmental charity organization in the world, with the fund scale three times that of the Old Ford Foundation and 10 times that of the Rockefeller Foundation. When celebrating his 50th birthday in London on June 5438+065438+1October last year, he told the reporters present that the huge wealth under his name was not only a great right but also a great obligation for him personally, and he was prepared to donate all this wealth to the society instead of leaving it to his children as a legacy.
The world's evaluation of Gates is mixed. Some people say that he is a successful entrepreneur, others say that he monopolizes the industry and bullies the weak; Some people say he is? The most generous philanthropist? Some people say that he is a hypocrite, and his charity is only the most expensive public relations activity in history; Some people say that he is the richest man in the world. Some people say that he will only greedily cash in the stock market and squeeze the money of Microsoft users? But as Americans say, whether you love him or hate him, you can't ignore him. This is Bill. The charm of gates. ?

Einstein was very playful when he was a child. His mother often worries about this and warns him what to do many times, but he always goes in one ear and out the other. In this way, until the autumn of 16, one morning, my father stopped Einstein who was fishing by the river and told him a story that changed Einstein's life. The story goes like this:
? Yesterday? Einstein's father said,? My neighbor Uncle Jack and I cleaned a big chimney in the southern factory. The chimney can only go up if you step on the steel ladder inside. Your uncle Jack is in the front and I am in the back. We grabbed the handrail and finally climbed up step by step. When I came down, your uncle Jack was still in front and I was still behind him. Later, I went out of the chimney and found a strange thing: your uncle Jack's back and face were blackened by soot in the chimney, and I didn't even have any soot on me. ? Einstein's father continued to smile and said:? When I saw your uncle Jack, I thought I must be as dirty as a clown, so I went to the nearby river to wash and wash. And your uncle Jack, seeing me clean when I came out of the chimney, thought he was as clean as me, so he washed his hands and went straight to the street. As a result, everyone in the street laughed and hurt their stomachs. They think your uncle Jack is crazy. ?
Einstein couldn't help laughing with his father. His father finished laughing and solemnly told him that in fact, no one else can be your mirror, only you are your own mirror. Taking others as a mirror, an idiot may turn himself into a genius. ?
Hearing this, Einstein suddenly looked ashamed.
Einstein left the naughty children. He always takes himself as a mirror to examine and reflect on himself, and finally reflects the brilliance of his life.
Compared with others blindly, I feel that I am content to be smarter than the people around me, or that I am depressed because I am not as good as others. How stupid this is! Everyone has different life goals and lifestyles, and he is the most reliable life guide in the world.
