Bill Gates believes that these 5 approaches will guarantee your success:
If you are looking for a role model for success in life, who better than Bill Gates? The company he founded created a whole new industry. He is the richest man in the world with assets of almost 80 billion dollars. His humanitarian activities reach everywhere and make the world a better place. Of course, he also achieved his dream: a desktop computer on all desks. But what traits contributed to Gates’ success? In the following, you can get to know some of the most important habits and approaches of Bill Gates that contributed to his success.
1. say no
This is the advice that Bill Gates received from Warren Buffett, and it really applies to anyone, whether you’re rich and successful or not. You will always come across opportunities or things to do on your way. In this busy and noisy world, knowing how and when to say no to various projects, social events, and other requests that take up your time is an important skill to acquire. Saying no gives you the opportunity to figure out what’s really important and focus on that.
2. Welcoming criticism
Gates advises to “embrace the bad news and learn what needs improvement.” While it’s never nice to listen to someone tell you that you’ve screwed up, without feedback your learning and growth will be slowed down. Listening to criticism can give you a new perspective. Of course, some criticisms are not useful and you have to recognize constructive criticism yourself.
3. optimism
Being optimistic in this world is hard work. But without optimism, no one can start a company, invest in a new idea, or launch a new product. Bill Gates knows the value of optimism, because in his work he deals with some of the most disturbing problems in the world, such as human trafficking, hunger, poverty. He said in one of his lectures at Stanford University: “Optimism is often confused with false hope. But there is also a false name.”
4. No fear of failure
Bill Gates wrote in the book The Road Ahead: “Success is not a good teacher, it makes smart people think they will never fail.” A successful product today may be abandoned tomorrow. This can happen to desktop PCs and Windows operating systems.
Maybe you will enjoy more success. But in fact, it is failure that teaches you better than anything and gives you the opportunity to grow and progress. Keep this in mind the next time you fail.
5. Ability to focus on the goal
In an annual letter from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Gates offered lessons from the history of the steam engine. He wrote: “If you set a specific goal and work towards it, you can make tremendous progress.” He went on to say that finding the right goal and the right way to go about it is harder than you think.
And if you don’t have a clear goal that will keep you on track in the face of problems and challenges, your failure is guaranteed.
So go ahead and set a goal for yourself that you will never give up under any circumstances.
