I love this book. It shows you the simplicity to be attached to life and just try to make your mark on whatever or wherever you are, value family, stay with family. Bridge generational gap, help other. The short true stories from the author's life are great evidences of these truths.
I love the review entitled "A Vaccine Against Cynicism." I think that's a perfect depiction of this wonderful book from Bill Gates Sr (born William Henry Gates II, the father has adpoted 'Sr.' as way to eliminate confusion). I also take note of Heidi Roizen's review in which she takes note of "Senior's" 'strong moral compass.' That's a lady who would know. As Bill Gates (the son) says in his forward: "Dad, the next time somebody asks you if you're the real Bill Gates, I hope you say, "Yes." I hope you tell them that you're all the things the other one strives to be."Perfect. You can't help but be struck by the integrity and regal bearing of this man, one who clearly celebrates and honors the achievements of all three of his children equally. The book is also a paean to his late wife, Mary, a legend in non-profit and charitable organization circles.I listened to the Audio CD version of this book. I highly recommend it. It's great drive-time material - inspiring stuff to stir your imagination to and from the office.
Just a terrific way to look at life, and the way to approach opportunity... or create your own. A great parenting book, with lots of anecdotes about raising the Gates kids and others. I've given copies to a couple of friends now - it's one of those books you want to pass around.
A wonderful guide for life. An easy read and I think a book for parents and teachers. The book gave me an understanding of Bill Gates, Jr.
Without Bill Gates Sr., there would be no Bill Gates, Microsoft, or Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Be a giving, compassionate, joyously persevering community leader and global citizen like Bill Gates Sr.!
OK NPR is the background music in my office and Terry Gross is my tranquilizer. That day it sounded like she was interviewing Robert Young of "Father Knows Best" so I just half way tuned it in.It was Mr. Gates senior and he was enchanting and calming beyond measure so of course I had to order the book thinking it would be a quick easy read.Guess what...NOT. A beautiful, touching, stimulating, inspiring (even if some reviewers think "hokey", journey. After finishing the book, which took several days by my choice because I wanted to savor every thought, idea, and subtel suggestion and nuance Mr. Gates put forward.Spoiler alert, beware social conservatives and limbaugh/hannity followers you will more than not be appeased by Mr. Gates social, economic and political views. ***** ****.So thank you NPR, Ms. Gross, Amazon and of course the gentle Mr.Gates Sr who Mr.GatesIII made his best decision ever when he chose him to be his father.
I bought this as a gift for someone who had just accepted a leadership position. She loves it.!
Each small chapter has a reason to see life for what it is and what it can be. To think about the greatest gift you can give, without even trying, is yourself by just showing up!
