When I was 19, I caught
sight of the future
and based my career on what I saw. I
turned
out to have been right."
— Bill Gates
“我 19 岁看到了未来，并将我的所见当作我事业的基点，结果证明我是对的。”──比尔
?盖
茨
He's the most famous businessman and the
richest
man in the
world — worth an estimated
$40 billion in 1997.
他是当今世上最著名的商人、最有钱的富豪── 1997
年他的资产预计
为 400 亿美元。
Without a doubt, Bill
Gates belongs in the
same class
as Thomas Edison,
Alexander
Graham
Bell, and other great minds who changed the world.
毫无疑问， 他与托马斯 ?爱迪生、 亚历山大 ?格雷厄姆 ?贝尔以及其他改变世界的伟人属于同一行

and everyone
around
him is charged with
10,000 volts of electricity.
Gates
sets the example and Microsoft employees follow. The schedule he keeps is one hint
as to what he expects from his employees. It's not unusual for the "dean" of the
"Microsoft campus" to put in 16-hour days
盖茨的成功源自他的人格：他才华横溢、冲劲十足、争强好胜，这些加在一起令人难以置信，
有时甚至令人畏惧。当这位董事长兼首席执行官走过微软大楼的走廊时，他身边的人和物就像
被打开了电源，充了一万伏电。盖茨树立了榜样，微软的员工紧随其后。他的工作安排暗示着
他对员工的期待。这位“微软校园”的“校长”经常每天工作
16 小时。
Indeed, if there's one thing that distinguishes the Gates style, it is his time

are his
