As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others. It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure. “Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning” ~Bill Gates

“Every now and then I like to pick up a copy of Times magazine and read every article from beginning to end, not just the articles that interest me most,” says Gates. “That way you can be certain to learn something you didn’t know previously.” Never Stop Learning!!!

“ We weren’t trying to just go public and get rich ,” recalls Gates of his early Microsoft days. “There was no near-term thing. It always was this many-decades thing where there were no shortcuts and we’d sort of put one foot in front of the other.” Long Term Thinking

Team Work!!! While Gates has been the famous face of Microsoft for over thirty years, it took the help of numerous other trusted individuals to help realize the company’s success “ At Microsoft, there are lots of brilliant ideas, but the image is that they all come from the top,” says Gates. “I’m afraid that’s not quite right.”
