Bill Gates, initially a shy and quiet boy who immersed himself in books, grew up introverted and antisocial. Originally planning to pursue a career in teaching math, his friend Paul Allen convinced him to delve into computer programming at age 13. Despite his parents' preference for him to pursue law, Gates found his passion lay in coding rather than legal studies at Harvard. He ultimately dropped out to co-found Microsoft with Allen. Though Microsoft faced financial struggles initially, Gates persisted through setbacks like the disappointing launch of Windows 1.0. However, perseverance paid off with the success of Windows 2, featuring innovations like Microsoft Word and Excel. Gates became a billionaire at 31 and the world's richest man at 39, epitomizing a journey marked by challenges and ultimate triumphs.
