Bill Gates

生年: October 28, 1955 – Seattle, Washington, United States

Bill Gates is an American technologist, business leader, and author best known as co-founder of Microsoft, which transformed the personal computing industry. He has authored works including The Road Ahead and How to Avoid a Climate Disaster, and is a leading philanthropist whose foundation has donated billions to global health and development, impacting millions worldwide.

経歴と著者の歩み

Bill Gates was born in Seattle, Washington, in 1955, the son of ambitious parents who encouraged his early curiosity and competitive drive. Demonstrating prodigious intellect from childhood, Gates wrote his first software program at age 13 and formed a group of student programmers while still in high school. His fascination with technology and penchant for obsessive focus set him on an unconventional path, which he explores candidly in his memoir, “Source Code: My Beginnings.” Gates describes overcoming social hurdles with the help of family, therapy, and sports, and credits these early experiences with shaping his unique perspective on work and learning.
