The definition of open risk taker is an individual or
business that tends to behave in a way that can potentially cause physical harm
or financial loss, but might also present an opportunity for a rewarding
outcome. Bill Gates is one of the successful entrepreneurs who dares to take
risks.
Who is Bill Gates? Born in Seattle, Washington, in 1955,
famed entrepreneur Bill Gates began to show an interest in computer programming
at age 13. Through technological innovation, keen business strategy and
aggressive business tactics, he and partner Paul Allen built the world's
largest software business, Microsoft. In the process, Gates became one of the
richest men in the world. In February 2014, Gates announced that he was
stepping down as Microsoft's chairman. Since leaving a full time position at
his company, Gates has moved on to more philanthropic endeavors with his wife
Melinda by his side. Together they have developed the world’s largest charity,
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000. He also gave $50
million to a global effort to provide vaccinations for malaria disease to
regions all over the world when nobody will because it is not give any profit
or return to Bill Gates.
Bill Gates takes risks when nobody else willing to. Almost 40 years ago,
Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard University and went on to develop Microsoft,
a move that would have made him the richest man in the world today. He took a
huge risk, starting his business based on his vision that the personal computer
would be a useful tool in every office and home. Bill Gates was prepared to
travel in the wilderness of the unknown and would do anything to win. He even
went up against Steve Jobs and was not threatened to copy or borrow ideas from
other great innovators and tech companies. This paid off in the end when his
company became a tech giant worth billions of dollars.
