Bill Gates quote

I highly admire you Bill Gates, even though that I hate the way that the products of Microsoft are sold. And I avoid buying them, and I use the Open Source versions of it. For example:

Google Docs, or Open Office than using Microsoft Office
Red Hat Linux than using Microsoft Server for websites hosting
and Firefox than using Internet Explorer (even though IE is free but i use the Open Source)
Thunderbird than using Outlook to check my email for work
and many...!

Not to save money, but the way the products are made being a closed source products makes me feel like I want kill the people behind Microsoft.

Bill Gates is a successful man with no doubt, he built the largest IT empire, or lets say he was behind this huge success. I have gone through some words & articles he said & wrote, and I highly disagreed with him when it was around business and forecasts regarding the growth of Internet & IT road map.

But when it comes to quotes and values to learn from for life, you better think wisely about Mr. William Gates.

If you born poor its not your mistake, But if you die poor its your mistake.
-Bill Gates

That doesn't cover only money if you think about it, even if he meant it to be money wise.

Being poor can be by honesty, relations, love, & religiously.

If you were born in a society that encourages dishonesty, and allow it when you were young. That makes you poor in honesty, and if die the same with poor honesty, then its your mistake that you haven't been rich in honesty.

In relations too, If you born in a family that doesn't teach you to build relationships, and not to appreciate friends and the good relationships in life, that's not your mistake too. But its your mistake if you die the same, you have to learn by time and be rich in relationships.

And so for love, and religion.

Thank you Bill Gates, you helped the computers to be in every single home in our world today. And you are giving us such precious quotes to learn from too.

But you have to thank us too for paying the licenses to Microsoft for you to be the richest person on earth for decades.
