The third principle of getting rich fast is to get a good education. Bill Gates first went to a public school, he was super smart boy that read the full encyclopedia just for fun. Although Bill was super smart he was lazy at school, seemed not pay any attention and not to mention that his desk was always a mess. Bill’s parents realized that they had a bright kid in trouble which is they moved Bill to the perfect private school, the Gates family had no problem paying for this expensive. The school’s name was called Lakeside. Lakeside, although prestigious could not afford a computer but they bought an ASR which was linked to a computer.The rest of the kids weren't interested in the modern world or technology but the Bill was the opposite. Bill became friends with Paul Allen and Ric Weiland. These 3 teenagers had a passion for technology, specially computers. They had the advantage to be at the same level of computing as the engineers who worked with computers since the computer world was just about to be born. The fact that using a computer at that time was extremely hard, which just made it more interesting to Bill and his friends. Being in Seattle was also an advantage because a company called C-Cubed operated there and had computers, Bill and his friends were invited to test the computers for free which was like a dream to them. They would spend all of their free time on the computer but then the company no longer needed them and so Bill and his friends would have to pay for using these computers. It is believed that Paul hacked into C-Cubed personal files so that they no longer had to pay but they got caught so the Lakesiders were banned for 3 months being away from what they loved. The C-Cubed president said that Bill and his friends were fearless and always kept trying. To keep trying is another reason of why Bill accomplished success.
QUOTES
“Don't you ever think,” he'd demanded.
Bill never cared what people thought about him, he became arrogant with his intelligence and always thought that no one but him was right. From public school to a private school to Harvard, Bill, always had critics over someone's opinion. His favourite phrases would be: “That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard off !” or “How dumb”. People knew that Bill was an indeed brilliant being but the way he interacted with people about certain topics was extremely rude.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion I in fact think that education is a key element for success in the future. My mom once told me that education is an investment that will then grow to reward you with a successful career, a decent job and the ability to maybe even sustain a family of your own thanks to a good education. I also think that education is one of the most important bases of society and countries because if you have good education on a country it will be able grow with its future generations and improve many important aspects of a country in a positive way.
