So You want to be next Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates ? You must know this and You may not like this

As a teen, Bill Gates wrote his first computer program, a tic-tac-toe game on a General Electric computer.

While other kids at his age were having fun he was coding.

When the school discovered his extraordinary coding abilities, they allowed him to write the school’s scheduling program to arrange students in classes.

According to the Science Museum, Gates altered the code of this software so he was selected to be in classes with a large number of “interesting girls."

Later, by the time he got to college, he had started a business and dropped out of Harvard in 1975 to commit full time to Microsoft.

According to Malcolm Gladwell, in his book Outliers, if you practice anything for 10,000 hours, you will become a world class expert in that area.

Bill Gates had the advantage of being able to access the mainframe computer that the parents’ association of his local school invested in, in 1968.

He started working with it in eighth grade, before just about anyone else in the world.

So, to answer your question, how can I be the next Zuckerberg or Bill Gates?

Start doing. Take action. Stay focused.

It’s not just about the idea, it’s in the doing.

Both Gates and Zuckerberg were doing while others were distracted, having fun, or pursuing a degree to be able to qualify for a job.
