Oh yeah; he was as I said a bright guy. Steve Jobs may not agree so much but thats between those two. I didn't mean to cast aspersions on Bill he is a true philanthropist. My intention was to point out that he is very definately a one shot deal and very lucky to boot. It's nice he has some ideas to help some of the troubled youth with a transcription of the truth.
My kid works harder than I ever have or ever would have at his age. So it's hard to become sanctimonious with him. And Just like in my generation we had Howard Hughes their generation has Bill G.
I just don't think his experiences will have a lot of relevance to the everyday individual.
The cliche' of the slothfull couch potato kid with his head buried in computor games just doesn't pan out here. I see a lot of real hard working young men in his group. I spare the details but believe me their schedule would have crippled me at their age.
I just wanted to party; Bills advice is extended about two generations too late. What I remmember about High School and college is...well I forgot. Too much gettin' at the gettin' place.
