Personal respond : We admired Mr Bill Gates because of his achievements he succeeded at a very young age, in his early 20s. He even sacrified his collage days in order to give his full commitment to Microsoft. Most of the time , he tried to think of new ideas to improve the software that he invented .
As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others. - BILL GATES
