Bill Gates: One of the Most Fortunate Man in the World
With all the riches that Bill Gates has been harvesting from his Microsoft Company since some decades ago, it is no question that Bill Gates is among the most fortunate men in the world. Forbes Magazine indicates that he is the richest man in the world for the past ten years (CNN.Com, 2004). In the continuous advancements of technology, it is definite that Microsoft will play an important role in every technological development. This is because technically computers are the major elements that make technology possible, and, among the similarly major elements that make the operation of computers possible is the Microsoft. Thus, it can be concluded that as the world strives for better technology, Bill Gates will continuously harvest the fortune from his Microsoft Company.
Bill Gates's fortune in Microsoft is not the only thing why he can be considered as among the luckiest men in the world. His fortune did start even before Microsoft reaped wealth out of the computer and software technologies. One of which was the fact that he comes from a wealthy family and has the chance of studying in prestigious schools like the Harvard University. However, he soon dropped out of Harvard. Despite of this, luck is still in his hands because he managed to successfully establish a company, which is now the famous Microsoft.
Bill Gates is not only financially fortunate but also spiritually. He does not keep his fortune only to him self. Instead, he shares them by helping the needy through donations. A CNN article indicates the following on Gates's compassion.
In 1999, $750 million went to produce and provide vaccines worldwide -- part of an extensive, expensive global health program -- The Washington Post reported. Gates has also helped lead the fight against AIDS, donating hundreds of millions of dollars for prevention and drug programs in Africa, India and elsewhere.
