Idea needs to be implemented

Can I carry the legacy of Bill Gates!!!

with 4 comments

There is a buzz round the globe. Who will step into Bill Gates shoes?

I say each and every technology entrepreneur should ask himself “Can I Carry the legacy of Bill Gates?”.

Bill Gates is an icon and he has probably contributed the maximum to Information Technology. However, he has expressed his desire to retire and step down from Microsoft to focus on his philanthropic foundation.

Now that he is stepping down as an employee of Microsoft, who will carry the legacy ahead. Even Techcrunch has asked this same question.

I am here putting my nomination to take the torch and carry on his legacy to define the trends and the current web era of computing. Not that there is body which will judge who suits the roles the best. Only time will tell who has carried his legacy. I am here just announcing my presence to the world.

Here are some reasons why I can do this.

  1. We both share the same birthday, i.e., 28th of October. If birthdays has anything to do with the qualities on an individual, we both are having the same qualities. He has used those qualities in front of the world and I am yet to show them. But I am sure, I have those qualities in me and time will prove that I am not bluffing. J
  2. Bill Gates is not just a person who was good in programming. He was/is a person with vision and ideas. He implemented those ideas and we all know what he has given to the world. Similarly, I am also a person with vision and ideas. I am in the process of implementing those ideas.
  3. He has given the world of Information Technology his entire life till today and he created the largest wealth from a technology company. He deserves far more than what he has got. I have decided to dedicate his birthday (28th October) as World IT Day. I would like everyone to come and share their views or vote here.

I have given three points to support my profile. How many do you have? Do you see yourself carrying the legacy of Bill Gates?

  1. :-) Yup I agree – Bill Gates is indeed a legend , in fact the point tht seemed too enthusiastic was ( “He has given the world of Information Technology his entire life till today” ) . But hey – so is Steve jobs , Larry page/Sergy brin , Mr.Narayanamoorthy etc. ( the list keeps going ) . Each one of them a legend in their own way , own field …. with their own mannerism :-)

  2. @Kaviraj

    I agree with Steve Jobs, however,the others you mentioned have to go a long way to reach that iconic status and become a legend.

    What I wanted to ask is, can we become a bill gates some day?

  4. haha ;) really funny post.

    However even if offered I will never carry on the legacy of Bill Gates or Micro$oft. I just don’t think that Bill was a great guy. He did everything at the expense of others. Domination never lasts, just like how a Junta can’t rule forever.

    This is just my personal feeling. No harm or disrespect meant.
