Successful people and their secret of being one:

(From the book Outliers)

What are Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Paul Allen and other computer successor have in common?

The year they were born was between 1953 to 1956. It’s the truth :

1) Bill Gates …………...(October 1955)
2) Paul Allen …………..(January 1953)
3) Steve Balmer ………(March 1956)
4) Steve Jobs …………(February 1955)
5) Bill Joy ………………(November 1954)
6) Scott McNealy ……...(November 1954)
7) Vinod Khosla ……….(January 1955)
8) Andy Bechtolsheim ..(September 1955).

So what does the year they were born makes them a successful person now. It’s actually simple, it’s just the opportunity plus a brilliant brain. When the computer era begins around the early 70’s, this computer successors were some in high school and college, by that time, computer are really hard to be use and only the one who have passion in computer were willing to try it out.

Example :

Bill Gates, the Co-finder of Microsoft, saw the opportunity to use a computer since he was High School and join a computer community in the high school. Maybe because of their genius idea, they were kicked out. Suddenly his friend Paul Allen, also a Co-finder of Microsoft, found a computer that was free at University of Washington. It was at the medical center and the physics lab. The problem is, the computer has a 24 hour schedule but there is only some free time around three and six in the morning. He will sneak out of the house after bedtime and will walk or get a bus to the university.

Bill Joy, the creator UNIX and one of the four founders of Sun Microsystems which is one of the oldest and the most important software companies, say the opportunity of using the computer when he went to University of Michigan. They were a lot of smart and brilliant students there but he was some of the people or I think the only one who have the passion to use the complicated computer and he stayed all night using the computer.

As a conclusion, the true formula of successful person in life is:


Opportunity + Creative and Brilliant Brain = SUCCEES
