The following things may help youmake your goals and dreams
Set clear long-term and short-term goals. Make sure that you‘re motivated by and committed to the goals you‘ve set for yourself so that you‘re willing to take the necessary steps to reach those goals successfully.
Stay focused on your goals once you‘ve set them. It‘s easy to stray off course, but by keeping your goals in sight, you can work towards them every day.
Overcome obstacles. No one ever said that reaching your goals and obtaining success was easy.
If you truly desire success in life, you must be willing to overcome obstacles on the way to reaching your goals and dreams.
Approach your goals and dreams with a positive attitude. Having a
negative attitude and thinking that you can‘t accomplish your goals and be successful in life will only slow you down. Stay positive even if the road gets tough, and you‘ll be that much closer to achieving success.
Be flexible and creative. Things may not always turn out the way you‘d hoped or planned, but by being flexible and creative, you‘ll be able to think of new, more efficient ways to reach your goals. Lesson 2 Video Script ．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．． ―Well, thank you for that kind introduction.‖
Everybody knows his accomplishments: founder of Microsoft, creator of Windows, world‘s richest man for most of his career and now Co-Chair of the world‘s largest charitable foundation. What was Bill Gates like before he was Bill Gates
In exclusive interviews provided to us by Microsoft, family members and Microsoft colleagues provide their own memories of what Bill Gates was like when he was young and what life has been like with him in Microsoft. Bill Gates was born Oct. 28th, 1955 in Seattle to a very prominent family. His father was a lawyer. His mother was very engaged in public matters. And from the beginning of his life, he was really intense and displayed an unusual intelligence. By the time he was in sixth grade, he was already involved in technology and computing and doing things that would
be very unusual for most children. He was a very unusual child, very intense, very intelligent from the beginning. And those qualities really help define the company that he would later found.
―We have a very competitive family, and I think the competiveness started very young with card games. My brother likes to think of himself as sort of the best at everything, and it turns out he is a pretty darn good pickleball player.‖
Script ．．．．．． ―The family is going somewhere together and the other four of
us upstairs, getting, gonna get into the car. And ?Bill where are you, what are you doing?‘ and all that sort of thing. And on one occasion in particular he hollered back up. He said, ?Mother I‘m thinking. Don‘t you ever think?‘ And Mary and I looked at each other and we sort of, ?Well I wonder if we ever do think?‘‖
― My parents were great about sharing their experiences, my Dad talking about different lawsuits he was in, my Mom talking about some of the challenges in the board and non-profit work she was doing. And so from an early age, my sisters and I felt like business problems were something that we could understand and think about. And from an early age, I got a chance to think about well, what do I want to choose to do? And that got me reading magazines, some books, Fortune magazine. And when the computer came along, the
idea of starting a business around it was a fairly natural thing.\ Eager to make his mark on the emerging personal computer industry, which was still tiny, Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard in 1975 after only three semesters and founded Microsoft with his childhood friend Paul Allen.
