Motivation Short Story of a Famous Programmer...

And now he is standing as Richest Man in the world with estimated worth $82.9 Billion as of 2017.

Bill Gates wasn't a famous programmer... He was essentialy a talentend sly trader who was lucky also to meet a famous programmer nammed Paul Allen, as Steve Jobs was essentialy the commercial mentor of Steve Wozniak ^^ He stole some stuff, as Steve Jobs do too: story of mouse and windows is funny about that... Popular belief is that GUI, windows concepts and mouse device are invention of Apple/Macintosh crew, but it's not. Steve Jobs stole the concept/idea at Ranks Xerox research and development department. Next, Apple/Mac will popularized all this stuff. During a visit of Bill Gates to Apple/Mac, he glimpsed the mouse and go back with the obsession to do same kind of device... as he smartly named his GUI 'Window', not hiding were he found inspiration... But originaly, neither Bill Gates nor Steve Jobs are creator/inventor of windows-mouse concept :P
