First two principles of getting rich fast

Ive  read until chapter 2 of the book called “Up close with Bill Gates” and it has been quite interesting. This is a book written by Marc Aronson and talks about how Bill Gates got to be rich by steps. In the book these are the steps to get “rich fast”. So the first chapter talks about that you need to have the right parents in order to be successful. This means that if your parents have money then it will be easier to guide to success. Bill Gates in fact did came from a wealthy family, not the richest family but wealthy enough. Then the second chapter says that the second principle of getting rich fast is to be located in a good place. For instance Seattle, which is where Bill came from was a very big influence that reflected on his success. This  was because Seattle was city full of engineers and innovators that wanted to change the world, to do so there were a lot of world fairs filled with radical ideas which Bill Gates attended to. Seattle played a big role in Bill’s success.

    

QUOTES

“A hard man, difficult and demanding.”

This is how another lawyer that worked with Bill the third (Bill gates dad) which was also a lawyer and a very successful one. The fact that another lawyer said that Bill the Third embraced these  qualities demonstrates or makes me think that Bill (computer genius ) inherited that behaviour or personality. It is also described that Bill used to behave as mentioned towards its employees. After all  both men were successful throughout their career.

And as Bill's dad recalled, “Winning mattered”

This quote represents the idea that got to be planted inside Bill's brain from the start.  In Bill's family everyone was competitive, always with the idea that only winning mattered and second place wasn't good enough. Throughout Bill's career winning got to be everything that he cared about no matter what, he would do anything to take over the lead.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion the book has been quite interesting until now. I like the fact that there is a person that can describe the various factors that made a successful man like Bill Gates rich. The steps from the book are key to what made Bill Gates so ahead of the game compared to its competitors in the technology industry. Good book so far.
