As Gates had told the pastor that day in his house. “I can do anything I put my mind to”.
Speed, quality, price. Pick any two.
The darkness has departed and the night stars have passed by, you have touched my life like never before and I cannot stop thanking God for you in my life. Have a great day!
Opportunities come to pass, not to pause.
Gates loved competing- and winning. Just as importantly, he hated losing. He thrived on competition, as long as he was playing or doing something he was good at, and relished opportunities to prove himself, physically and mentally.
On one 50-mile summer hike, Gates demonstrated the persistence and tenacity that was to be his trademark later in life.
Trey Gate’s maternal grandmother, Adelle Maxwell, was also an important influence on him, encouraging him to read as much as possible, pushing him to excel in all that he did, challenging him to use his mind. They played card games together frequently, especially games like Concentration that required mental agility.
You’re just an over-privileged kid who couldn’t adapt to the fact that your life was good.
