When 28-year-old Bill Gates was interviewed, Microsoft's annual revenue had already exceeded $100 million. When asked how old he was when he became a millionaire, he replied, "Nobody at our company is here for the money."

He said what truly excites him is not the company's value, but writing programs that are used and solve real problems. Regarding dropping out of Harvard, he said it was because he felt the computer revolution had arrived and he had to act immediately.

When asked if he could imagine working for someone else, Gates paused before saying: "I'm used to pushing my ideas forward, and reporting to others would be a difficult transition." Those who truly seize opportunities don't first calculate how much money they can make, but rather realize: "This is a train we can't miss."
