Bill Gates Said What?

Bill Gates is a pretty amazing guy.  We could all learn a lot from him.  Here are some quotes from Gates that I found online on life, investing and the future of technology and business.  Some of them have powerful messages.

1.  
2. 1.     "Patience is a key element of success."
3. 2.     "Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one."
4. 3.     "It's fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure."
5. 4.     “Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.”
6. 5.     "Is the rich world aware of how four billion of the six billion live? If we were aware, we would want to help out; we'd want to get involved."
7. 6.     "Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important."
8. 7.     "As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others."
9. 8.     "Until we're educating every kid in a fantastic way, until every inner city is cleaned up, there is no shortage of things to do."

12. 11.  "Intellectual property has the shelf life of a banana."
13. 12.         "If you show people problems and you show people the solutions, they will be moved to act."
14. 13.  "The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency."
15. 14.  "At Microsoft there are lots of brilliant ideas, but the image is that they all come from the top... I'm afraid that's not quite right."
16. 15.  "When the PC was launched, people knew it was important."
17. 16.  "The advance of technology is based on making it fit in so that you don't really even notice it, so it's part of everyday life."
18. 17.  "I'm a great believer that any tool that enhances communication has profound effects in terms of how people can learn from each other and how they can achieve the kind of freedoms that they're interested in."
19. 18.  "The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow."
