From Dropout to Tech Icon

Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard at 19 to start Microsoft in a garage. People called him

crazy for leaving an Ivy League education. But he saw something nobody else did, that every home

would one day need a computer. While others were selling hardware, Gates bet everything

on software. He worked 16 hour days, slept under his desk,

and wrote code until his fingers bled. By 30, he was a billionaire. By 40,

the richest man alive. The Harvard dropout became the guy who put a computer in

every home and changed the world forever.
