Bill gates is one of the people i have respect on when it comes to business and professional capacity building, having a good mentor or role model has a way of contributing to one's success in life, they have been through alot of experience in the professional fields and have encountered series of economical seasons, their advise is worth building on to have a good start, reading their books, and following them on media handles is never a waste of time, but rather a choice to follow a smooth path with them.
There are many things in business that are not written in books. For example, in my country, Microsoft Office has been free for a long time. Its pirated copies were used not only by households, but also by government agencies. As a result, local developers were unable to create their own operating systems and went bankrupt. Virtually all basic computer software in the country was "pirated".
Bill Gates could not have been unaware of this, but he did not make any claims against anyone.
And then, unexpectedly, a criminal case was opened against a school teacher who installed unlicensed software on school computers. It became a signal.
At this time, my country has already emerged from the economic crisis. All software has become paid and licensed, and Microsoft has become an absolute monopoly in the field of software for laptops and computers. Laptops and computers were sold with Microsoft Office pre-installed.
In my opinion, Bill Gates will never tell this story.
At the same time, no one denies that he is a talented businessman and programmer.
