A journalist asked Bill Gates in an interview
If you become poor again today, and go back to your status from thirty-five years ago, what will you do?
Bill Gates replied with a smile: "What difference does it make, I will become rich again."
The questioner asked:
"How long will it take you to become the richest man in the world again?"
Bill Gates replied, "As rich as I became in thirty-five years, if I had to become that rich again, I would be equal to today's wealth in three and a half years."
The answer was surprising, so the questioner asked, "But how?"
Bill Gates replied: "Thirty-five years ago, I didn't know that
What is my talent?
What is the work that I can do?
Therefore, most of my time was wasted on things that I couldn't do at all. But today, I know very well what my talent is and what I can do, so I will start right away and in three and a half years, I will be the richest person in the world again."
These words are golden, worthy of being written in gold. Data shows that ninety-eight percent of people in the world keep doing work all their lives that they do not know how to do. People keep telling them this:
"You can do it, so don't worry, just keep at it."
This seems good on the surface, but this formula is wrong. We cannot succeed through this formula. We succeed when we realize what our talent is? What work can we do and what can we not do? The day we start doing what we can, that day we get on the road to success.
Look at yourself: do you not keep thinking all day about the things you cannot do?
So when you keep thinking about the things you can't do, are you not wasting your time?
So think about what you can do:
Can you discover your talent?
You can take a position in the exam; you should try for it.
You cannot read the entire library, but you can read one book.
You can set up a small shop; why don't you do that?
If you can set up an online business, then why don't you do it?
You cannot become a bodybuilder, but you can walk for half an hour.
Think about what you can do. No one in the world can stop you from becoming Bill Gates.
