The most that stood out to me about Bill Gates was that he was able to risk dropping out to start his own business. This was a brave move because not very many people would do that. What I admire about Gates is that he started his own charity program to help people with education. He gives many opportunities for low income family students to go to school because of his scholarships. Not many entrepreneurs do that nowadays. I also liked that he never gave up. He was smart enough to learn from other companies to start his own and compete with the biggest competitors out there such as apple.
