13 Life Changing Lessons From Bill Gates

//THREAD//
1) Life is The Best School.

No matter how many tests you take, nothing from schools can properly prepare you for life in the real world.

Real world is completely different.

"If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He doesn’t have tenure." @BillGates
2) Be Your Own Boss as Soon as Possible.

Bill Gates became a boss at a fairly early age.

He deserved it, and it put him in an excellent position with pure control over his success.

"If you don’t build your dream, someone else will hire you to build theirs.” @BillGates
3) Learn From Your Mistakes.

What is the point in blaming other people for your mistakes?

Your mistakes are on you, they are not anyone else’s fault.

“If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.” @BillGates
4) Be Committed and Passionate.

Be committed to what you love and have a great passion for it.

The successful people in this world make it look so easy because they just love what they are doing.

"Being successful at almost anything means having a passion for it." @BillGates
5) Be Nice to Nerds.

Underestimating someone is a bad idea.

You never know, he may become superior to you in the days to come.

Always be kind and nice to everyone.

"Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.” @BillGates
6) TV is Not Real Life.

TV is a scam. What they're showing you on it is not the reality.

Real life is a complete different thing. So don't get fooled.

“Television is not real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.” @BillGates
7) Life is Not Fair.

No matter how hard you work in life, there will always be times where things don’t go your way.

Life isn’t fair. It’s a test, a game, a risk.

If you fall down then stand up again.

“Life is not fair. Get used to it.” @BillGates
8) Be Ready to Takes Risks.

Starting a business is a bit like gambling, you’re not always sure if you’ll win or not.

Life has no rules and you have to sacrifice certain things to get to your destination.

“Business is a money game with few rules and a lot of risk.” @BillGates
9) Never Fast Forward Your Way to Success.

Nothing comes easy and that includes being successful.

Bill Gates started Microsoft on a shaky foundation, but through patience and hard work, he was able to overcome all struggles.

“Patience is a key element of success.” @BillGates
10) Be Proud of Who You Are.

Many people get frustrated because they’re not as smart, rich or talented as the other person.

We are different and have our own abilities.

“Don’t compare yourself with anyone in this world… if you do so, you are insulting yourself.” @BillGates
11) Be Humble at All Times.

Don't let success get into your head.

If you allow so then get ready for your destruction.

Always stay humble no matter how successful or rich you are.

"Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.” @BillGates
12) Take Things Positively.

Bill Gates also had a fair share of unsatisfied customers, but you know what?

He never considered this as something negative.

Instead, he took their reviews to improve.

“Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.” @BillGates
13) Accept Failures & Move On.

Failures are more important than success, because by failing you become successful.

The greatest life lessons are always found when you fail.

“It’s fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.” @BillGates
