GATEway to the Future



I had the opportunity to spend time with a lovely man today. His name is Bill Gates. Let me tell you; I completely underestimated his social skills. We tend to judge people in the computer science field, label them as "nerds"; but I knew BG was a certified baller when he showed me this hilarious video
about what he plans to do when he retires this summer from Microsoft.


BG's vocab is ON POINT. Not only that but he never seems caught off-guard, answers every question without hesitation, no "um," "like" or "ya know" rhetoric. People think it's cool just because he's rich but what I was impressed with is that he grants $3 billion to charity a year and is not leaving anything to his children. He is trying to instill an impeccable work ethic in them so they can create billion-dollar empires, too, and then save the world with their profits. Bill told me his best friend is Warren Buffet and he learned a lot of non-technological stuff from him. I think he would also get a long great with Obama. Hopefully if he wins, BG can be his runningmate like the video infers and they can save the world together. That would be dope!
