This guys seems very company, he should start a genuine or something

This guy is smart. He’d be pretty good at computers if he wasn’t a boomer.

[marcuslea]

Who does this guy think he is? Some successful billionaire or something LOL this guy needs to get real and grow up

[fransiskop]

Its funny when you realize that you are watching this video in a computer with microsoft.

All these comments about bills humility and relaxed demeanor. You have no idea how much of a savage he was back in the day. He would slit the throat of his competitors and was obsessed with money and domination.

“Spent a lot of money... like $200” -bill gates

[aplacetobewithmythoughts]

Traditional School is meant to program workers. It’s such an ineffective way of learning and critically thinking

[jasmine]

Damn this guy sounds humble I bet he’s gonna turn out quite successful

[kPvPz]

It’s sad seeing someone who could have been successful not do anything with their life.

[rodrigog.]

who else came here hoping he would say that his grades were shit?

[stefanossalas]

Notice how he said at college and not at harvard

[Arnieman]

"You could read the textbook in the first week, and there wasn't anything interesting gonna happen the rest of the school year." That made quite an impression on me as a first year student.

"They were treating me like some average student (Laugher)" Humble 100

[starkiller]

"Stopped calling the teacher master" Lmao, it really was back in the day

[eclipse]

It’s crazy to think that his life would be different, if he didn’t get access to computers in 8th grade

[jonatanschneevoigt]

Me: watching on a MacBook
Bill: angry billionaire noise

[saskiavanhoutert]

To me Bill Gates looks like a great, nice person, especially his computerwork is what I like, great done all what he made and I like to work with those, thanks and kind regards.

[flatlineoptimism]

He seems well spoken and humble. I'd say if he's a wiz at math, accounting might be a good profession. I hear they pay pretty well.

Had me at “stopped calling the teacher, master” 🤣🤣
