May 19, 1999, on How to Become As Rich As Bill Gates:
Everyone is quick to put Bill Gates down because he has so much money. They want to go on about how he has cornered the market on computers through Micro Soft. He has done really great with Micro Soft there is no doubt about that, however most people don't know that when he first founded Micro Soft he tried to sell it. He offered Micro Soft to a company for 250,000 a very low sum. The Company turned him down because they didn't feel that people would put computers in their homes. Bill Gates saw the future and proved the company wrong. If you want to get rich like Bill Gates you need to have determination to see your dream through. Don't just say this would be a good idea and leave it at that, you must follow through with it. You will have to pick up and continue to try no matter how many times you fail.
