Гейтс начал свою карьеру в сфере программного обеспечения для персональных компьютеров в возрасте 13 лет.

Билл очень много работает, чтобы доказать свою точку зрения. Его вера в сильный интеллект и тяжкий труд — это то, что сделало из него того, кем он сейчас является, наравне с тем, что он оказался в нужном месте в нужное время.
