When Bill Gates speaks, the world listens. That’s the power of the words of the man behind the “Windows”. One question, the Microsoft co-founder has been asked since ages, revolves around career advice for recent graduates. And, to sum it up beautifully, Mr Gates in a series of tweets just handed out GOLD advice which we are totally writing down.
On Tuesday, Bill Gates’s Twitter handle was lit up with one advice after another and you have to imbibe these.
1. Using this short clip from The Graduate, he warned all that he would risk sounding like Mr McGuire.
1/ New college grads often ask me for career advice. At the risk of sounding like this guy…https://t.co/C68mjJ5g44

2. The fields one can make a difference were listed by Mr Gates.
2/ AI, energy, and biosciences are promising fields where you can make a huge impact. It's what I would do if starting out today.

3. We all know, how his is the story of one of the most successful college dropouts.
3/ Looking back on when I left college, there are some things I wish I had known.

4. He says how intelligence is not a parameter that important to him, anymore.
4/ E.g. Intelligence takes many different forms. It is not one-dimensional. And not as important as I used to think.

5. Speaking about the inequities in the world, he pointed out,
5/ I also have one big regret: When I left school, I knew little about the world’s worst inequities. Took me decades to learn.
— Bill Gates (@BillGates) May 15, 2017
6. Mr Gates admitted that the present generation knows more than what he knew at their age, back then.
6/ You know more than I did when I was your age. You can start fighting inequity, whether down the street or around the world, sooner.
— Bill Gates (@BillGates) May 15, 2017
7. After all, a man is known by the company he keeps.
7/ Meanwhile, surround yourself with people who challenge you, teach you, and push you to be your best self. As @MelindaGates does for me.
— Bill Gates (@BillGates) May 15, 2017
8. That approach to life is something we all should imbibe.
8/ Like @WarrenBuffett I measure my happiness by whether people close to me are happy and love me, & by the difference I make for others.

9. His graduation present to all.
9/ If I could give each of you a graduation present, it would be this–the most inspiring book I've ever read. pic.twitter.com/P67BuvpELJ

10. Though hard to believe, it is true.
10/ @SAPinker shows how the world is getting better. Sounds crazy, but it’s true. This is the most peaceful time in human history.
— Bill Gates (@BillGates) May 15, 2017
11. As postive mindset leads postive things.
11/ That matters because if you think the world is getting better, you want to spread the progress to more people and places.
— Bill Gates (@BillGates) May 15, 2017
12. When you believe there’s a solution, you find it ultimately.
12/ It doesn’t mean you ignore the serious problems we face. It just means you believe they can be solved.
— Bill Gates (@BillGates) May 15, 2017
13. This is the mantra behind Bill Gates’s success.
13/ This is the core of my worldview. It sustains me in tough times and is the reason I love my work. I think it can do same for you.
— Bill Gates (@BillGates) May 15, 2017
14. We hope that too!
14/ This is an amazing time to be alive. I hope you make the most of it.

These might seem simple to you at first, but isn’t life all about being simple with a touch of chaos?
Mr Gates, take our hats!
