According to Forbes, the co-founder of Microsoft, the world’s most successful multi-national corporation, is the world’s richest man. At the time of writing, Bill Gates has a whopping net worth of $79.2 billion.

At a young age, Bill Gates was already very interested in digital stuff and programming.

Yes! In a time when social media has overtaken many traditional habits, Bill Gates still reads.

However, in line with the digital age, Bill Gates now mostly reads digitally, via his electronic gadgets. Each night, before he turns in for the day, he spends an hour reading a book. The topics usually range from current events to politics, and all non-fiction. The billionaire also reads the Economist, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal etc.

While he is reading books or news articles etc, Bill Gates is also constantly on the lookout for new ideas and trends, which keeps him ahead of time and trending issues.

It is always a good idea to read, and read widely for that matter, because it can:

  • Enhances your analytical skills.
  • Expand your knowledge and vocabulary.
  • Improve your concentration and focus.
  • Improve your memory and stimulate the brain functions.
  • Release stress.

TO-DO: Grab a book on personal development, or any other topic you like. Read it and summarize and list down the learning points from it. You may also post a review on social media. Or you can also write an inspired piece from it to share with your friends.

The Second Habit: Bill Gates Brainstorms

“I always have nice color pens, and it’s great for brainstorming when I’m with other people, and even sometimes by myself.”

Bill Gates’ way of brainstorming is very interesting – He uses various colors so as to differentiate between his ideas.

But why is brainstorming itself a success habit?

Well, brainstorming allows you to:

  • Builds team rapport.
  • Collate different viewpoints and angles of looking at a problem.
  • Encourages critical analysis and thinking.

With brainstorming, you can come up with many innovative ideas and approaches, and that is a very valuable business strategy. What you brainstorm is only limited to your imagination.

    Have you ever considered about including a little bit more

    and all. However think of if you added some great pictures or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!
    Your content is excellent but with images and clips,
    this website could certainly be one of the best in its niche.
    Excellent blog!

    Many people have been making this mistake; buying cars that do not suit
    their needs and end up hating them or even selling them.
    Of, course appearance matters too with exterior trim, tires and well-kept interiors
    fetching better prices. Physical – back pain, neck pain, black and blue around eyes, being in the emergency room with
    an uncomfortable splint, dizziness, feeling faint, sleeplessness, extreme anxiety,
    moderate anxiety, shaking, headaches.
