Would You Like to be Bill Gates?  ( on life) Bill Gates is probably one of the most recognized names in the world.  He topped the Forbes' list of the world's richest man for years in a row.  He also topped PriceWaterHouse Cooper's 2004 List of World's most Respected Business Leaders. *  He also owns the world's largest charitable foundation.  He is of course the chairman of the world's largest software company.  He is of course, acknowledge as one of the smartest technical and business minds in the business.  There is everything to envy in him.  Would you like to be him? However, in every success, there is always a price to pay, and I am sure after years of managing probably one of the world's most complex corporation in the world's most competitive industry, it must be taking a toll.  I am sure also that he would be tops if there was a survey as one of the world's most criticized CEOs as well.   Here is an eye opening article at CNET: Apparently, a piece of paper was left at UK Prime Minister Tony Blair's desk, and handwriting experts analyzed it.  After examining the tangle of boxes, circles, loops and notes on debt and trade, the experts described the writer as "struggling to concentrate" or "not a natural leader" or "frustrated and tense."   Apparently the paper turned out to be belonging to Bill Gates who was seated beside Blair. Guess being Gates is not that nice a walk in the park after all....  In everything, there is always more than what meets the eye.  It is important to study this carefully before we make our choices. -------- * For those that are interested, click on the PWC list, but the world's top 5 most respected businessmen are Bill Gates of Microsoft, Jack Welch, formerly of GE, Carlos Ghosn of Nissan, Warren Buffet of Berkshire Hathaway, and Michael Dell of Dell.   5:39:08 PM     comment []   trackback []
