I disagree somewhat.
>Bill Gates is extremely charitable.
This is following two decades of Bill Gates being extremely selfish.
>Einstein was extremely intelligent.
This is something different. Einstein was extremely intelligent in some areas but not all of them.
It's been said that for anyone to become great at anything that it requires 10,000 hours of practice. This does take dedication and there is nothing wrong with doing what you love. That said, caring too much or being too emotional can affect rationalization.
- drumdance 15y agoPlease. You think Bill Gates made $50 billion by stealing it? Yeah, he was agressive, but not any more so than Steve Jobs, Scott McNealy or Larry Ellison would have been in the same position.
