Billionaire success secrets of Bill Gates, the richest man in the world
Billionaire success secrets of Bill Gates, the richest man in the worldBillionaire success secrets of Bill Gates, the richest man in the worldBill Gates, Co-Chair and Trustee of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation- also known for co-founding Microsoft and other initiatives- has built an empire.The mogul nabbed the top spot on The Worlds Billionaires 2017 by Forbes, with a listed net worth of $86 billion. (On the morning of July 27, however, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos overtook him.)But certain things have contributed to the success of the richest man in the world- here are just a few.Never stop learning and exploringGates told The New York Timesin 2016 about what reading does for him, and he said he reads around 50 books yearly.It is one of the chief ways that I learn, and has been since I was a kid. These days, I also get to visit interesting places, meet with scientists and watch a lot of lectures online. But reading is still the main way that I both learn new things and test my understanding, he told the publication.The New York Times Magazine reported in 2014 that just after Gates left his executive position at Microsoft in 2008, he enjoyed watching Big History DVDs, a college course taught by Australian professor David Christian, while running on the treadmill. This later led him to bring the material to high schools through The Big History Project.Bill Gates talks about what he thinks the future holds in a Big History Project videoposted on the initiatives YouTube channel in 2013.Keep high standardsGates kept high standards for his own work and his gruppes as well. He strongly voiced concern about Microsofts products when he thought they werent good enough.In 2008, Seattle PI featured the text of a lengthy email he sent in 2003 about a challenging time when he tried download Moviemaker and purchase the Digital Plus Package from Microsofts website. He minces no words.So after more than an hour of craziness and making my programs list garbage and being s cared and seeing that Microsoft.com is a terrible website I havent run Moviemaker and I havent got the plus package.The lack of attention to usability represented by these experiences blows my mind. I thought we had reached a low with Windows Network places or the messages I get when I try to use 802.11. (dont you just love that root certificate message?)When I really get to use the stuff I am sure I will have more feedback, Gates wrote.The website even linked to a PDF of the original document containing the confidential emails.But Gates reportedly didnt play coy while discussing the email at a Microsoft farewell event in 2008.One of the newspapers had some e-mail that I sent about how maybe Windows could have been better at something, and they said, This is a shocking e-mail. Shocking And I said, What do you think I do all day? Sending an e-mail like that, that is my job. Thats what its all about. Were here to make things better, he said.Be a resource and champion causes you care a boutThe Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation actively works to combat malaria- a devastating sickness that is easily preventable with enough funds and focus, but which drew little effective concern before the foundation poured attention into it.The strategy overview page goes into detail about their approach.Malaria is a top priority of the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation. Our new multi-year Malaria strategy, Accelerate to Zero, adopted in late 2013, addresses the areas in which we believe the foundation is best positioned, among a broad spectrum of partners, to develop groundbreaking approaches to reducing the burden of malaria and accelerating progredienz toward eradication of the disease the page says, before listing foundational principles and more.The foundation also pledged $258.3 million worth of research grants, the largest amount going to Seattle-based PATH to develop what could be the worlds first malaria vaccine, according to The Seattle Times in 2005.Gates has also tweeted a bout the cause and written about it before.Have hobbiesGates told users about what he likes to doduring a Reddit Ask Me Anything session years ago.I love playing tennis. I am an avid bridge player (a card game if you have not heard of it it was more popular in the past). I like to tour interesting things with my kids like power plants, garbage dumps, the Large Hadron Collider, Antarctica, missile Silos (Arizona), I read a lot and watch courses (online or the Learning Company).. Gates wrote.Business Insider even put together a slideshow on books about science that Gates has suggested people read.

Mistakes That Hurt You at Work - The Muse
Mistakes That Hurt You at Work - The MuseMistakes That Hurt You at Work Its been a few years, and youve been exceptionally diligent. Ever since you realized it was a possibility, that versetzung has been your goal, and youve been gunning for it with everything youve got. But, wait. Before you keep charging blindly ahead, make sure your grand plans arent derailed by any of these easy-to-make mistakes. 1. Winning Over Your Boss But notlage Your Co-workersYour direct supervisor will have a big say in whether or not you get to move up, so it makes perfect sense to curry his or her favor. But before you keep nodding yes to everything your manager says, consider the impression youre making on your colleagues. It might be completely obvious to everyone but you that youre running for office and ready to sacrifice anyone standing in your way.To prevent any resentment from building up, youll want to be a bit mora mindful of the way your actions to please your boss make you look in front of you r co-workers. After all, its not like these people just go away when you get promoted. In fact, you will still have to work with them- and possibly even manage them. 2. Focusing on New Responsibilities But Neglecting Your Current OnesIts great to be eager, but obsessing over your next career move instead of focusing on your present role isnt going to get you anywhere. Its easy to get carried away with newer, possibly more exciting responsibilities, but neglecting your core duties will get you in trouble. You wont make a very compelling case for yourself to take on a greater role in the team if you cant even manage your current assignments. In other words, before you get too preoccupied with revamping the internship training schedule or planning the regional conference, make sure your main responsibilities are completed in a timely and consistent manner. 3. Going Above and Beyond But Not Letting Anyone KnowSo, youre knocking out old and new responsibilities, helping out colleagues, a nd mentoring interns. If anyone is paying attention, that promotion should be yours. Problem is, you cant rely on other people to pay attention. If youre not fully promoting yourself and your achievements, it almost doesnt matter that youre killing it at your job. So, how does one actually do this? Its all about setting aside time to talk about and celebrate team successes with your manager. Check out this handy guide on how to brag at work (without sounding like a jerk) for a more step-by-step guide. 4. Not Creating a Plan for When You Actually Do Get PromotedThis one might be the least obvious one. What is your team or company going to do if youre not longer in your current role? If you dont have a plan in place, that can be a serious deterrent for promoting you. Plan for your succession, or if youre in a more entry-level role, document processes you oversee, training youve completed, and your general responsibilities so that itll be easy to train someone to take your place. It mi ght feel a bit presumptuous to be getting ready to move on to a new role that you may or may not get, but when it does happen, youll look completely prepared and ready to take on that promotion.The moral of this story is that getting promoted shouldnt just be about you. If youre able to make it about whats best for the team or the company, youll be not only be making a better impression on everyone involved, youll also be more likely to get that coveted promotion. Good luckPhoto of man with ladder courtesy of Shutterstock.
