2.1 Proactive.
Bill gates is a person that creating
or controlling a situation by causing something to happen rather than
responding to it after it has happened.From that attitude, he can be a number
one people that very professional in multimedia profesion. This is because,
from his story, he lived close enough to the University of Washington that he
could take advantage of free computer time from 3:00–6:00 am. He got to work on
Information Sciences Inc.’s payroll software. He worked on the control system
at the Bonneville power station. This is all before graduating high school.
This show, before he be a
successful person, he already take a action to creating his future. He chose to
take the advantage of this situation. Each step of the way, he did everything
he could to get those most out of the opportunities available to him, and that,
in turn, started to open doors and create new opportunities. The gig has
working on the Bonneville station was referred to him because he had
established himself as a talented programmer that never person have before.
Thats why people have being proactive when doing something in their life.
2.2 Networked
After reading the magazine Popular
Electronics, January 1975 issue of the Altair 8800, Gates contacted MITS (Micro
Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems), the company that created the
micro-computer. Although at this point he has yet to start writing any code for
the Altair 8800, he told the president of MITS company that the work of
building a mediation BASIC is being made by his partners. Bill Gates and Paul
Allen still can’t start writing the source code because they still do not have
Altair, but actually his purpose is just to get the attention of the MITS.MITS
president agreed to meet Bill Gates and Paul Allen to give a demonstration.
In a few weeks, Bill Gates and Paul
Allen managed to build a match (emulator ) to Altair using mediation
minicomputers and BASIC. Bill Gates and Paul Allen later won a contract to
distribute the mediation that called Altair BASIC. Bill Gates, then formed a
company, Micro-Soft, along with Paul Allen and take study leave from Harvard to
start his new business. Microsoft decided partnership with MITS in late 1976
and continue the construction of a programming language software for various
system. Bill Gates has a great responsibility in his company but still helps in
writing the code. In the first 5 years of the establishment of Microsoft, he
would personally check every single line of source code and also makes repair
of the code, if necessary, before it is distributed.
In 1980, IBM offered Microsoft to
build mediation BASIC for the company's latest personal computer called the IBM
PC. When notified by IBM that they require operating system, Bill Gates propose
operating system CP / M, which was built by Dr. Gary Kildall from Digital
Research (DRI). According to Jack Sams, his discussions with DRI have stalled
in connection with the problem of software licenses. A few weeks later, Bill
Gates suggested 86-DOS (QDOS), an operating system similar to CP / M, built by
Seattle Computer Products (SCP), Microsoft managed to get approval from the SCP
to be an agent for QDOS and later became sole owner of the license. After the
adaptation made to allow QDOS work in personal computer, Microsoft sold it to
IBM, known as PC-DOS.
PC-DOS is an operating system for the IBM personal computer that is sold
by Microsoft to IBM unconditional and payment is only made once. At the same
time Microsoft build MS-DOS, an operating system for computers not owned by
IBM, also known as "clones". In 1980, Microsoft introduced a version
of the operating system used Graphical User Interface (GUI) based on the idea
that was founded by Xerox corporation, and be updated by Apple. Microsoft
launched its new operating system called "Windows" to match the
software market to make the software easier to use (user friendly).
Windows 3.0 was released in 1990 with
great success, sold over 10 million units within the first 2 years and the
inscribe the name Microsoft as a leading company in the sales of the operating
system. To ensure that Microsoft products remain the number one in the business
of operating systems, Microsoft collaborated with companies personal computer
to load the "Windows" is inherent in all new computers. With the
success of the collaboration, Microsoft Corporation became a giant in the field
of operating systems and makes Bill Gates as the richest man in the world until
this day.
2.3 Visionary
In order to becoming success or be a
successful person needs a vision. Vision will lead us to be more motivated and
being inspired to achieve our goals or mission. A vision is the ability to see
what others cannot see. It is being able to have a picture in your mind of
exactly the result you intend to produce. The visionary entrepreneur is able to
see exactly what his or her business is going to look like in every detail when
it is finished. Means that they have their own plan and strategy to make sure
that their business are going well. The meaning of finished in this contact are
a business as an investment, which is we are building the asset and any asset
whether it is, a stock, real estate, or a business must have an exit strategy
before we start. Once our business is working exactly how we would envisioned
it, in every detail, we are either going to sell it, or we are going to keep
it, which means we have to buy it
ourself and if we buy our own business,
we better make sure that it is worth the price we pay for it.
Other people will see him as an innovative
visionary who sparked a computer revolution in the software industry. Based on
what his supporters and haters may think, they can argue that Bill Gates is one
of, the most successful entrepreneur of the 20th century. In just 25 years, he
had built a two-man operation into a multibillion-dollar colossus and made
himself the richest man in the world somewhere along the way. Besides he
accomplished his creation not by inventing new technology, but by taking
existing technology, adapting it to a specific market, and then he dominating
that market through innovative promotion.
Bill Gates setup his aim and become
visionary to make sure his business and creation can be compete with other
competitors. He have a vison and set the strategy which is Gates took a
disciplined approach toward software as a potential source of business
opportunities. Besides that he was never too proud to be the second banana.
Like a true entrepreneur, Gates saw the "structural holes" in the
personal computing marketplace and moved in to occupy them, always in a subordinate
spot to the big players. Rather than vision, and certainly not pride of
workmanship, Gates was all about execution.
2.4
Observant
Becoming an influential and can
affect people the way we work is by trait one that is in the individual’s own.
Features of itself important for an entrepreneur, with these criteria makes
people believe in the vision and mission to be achieved by entrepreneurs. In
this task traits wish to discuss is the entrepreneur named Bill Gates, his name
is William Henry Gates III, better known Bill Gates is an American businessman
and Microsoft Corporation co-founder Paul Allen in 1975 he was at the time he
was 19 years old. Bill Gates is a famous entrepreneur in the personal computer
revolution. With ingenuity and creativity that exists in Bill Gates made him an
unparalleled among competitors.
From the observations that could be
summed up here, Bill Gates is a visionary entrepreneur. This can be proved,
Bill Gates had to imagine what would happen to the world of computers and the
time was not yet invented the computer even personal computers. At the age of
31 years, Bill Gates has been declared a billionaire in the United States and
also made history the youngest billionaire at that time. Before achieving
success, he worked hard in creating a computer program so called “workaholic”
by those who knew him. Nothing is impossible to achieve anything you want, Bill
Gates has proved through his achievements within the field of computer.
While in school, Bill Gates is one
of the most intelligent students of his class. Because of that, his father
decided to send to another school that can pose a challenge to him. His father
had sent him to Lakeside, the school outstanding boy. That school allows
students to further develop their talents toward a more promising. The school
prides itself on offering the conditions laid down, because this school has
opened an opportunity for students who have talents that need to be explored
further. This is an ideal place to study for Bill Gates because he was a smart
student and need to hone his talents more.
After Bill Gates success, he did not
forget to help those in need. With the profits, Bill Gates help those in need.
Such properties make Bill gates admired by the public. Bill Gates often make
donations to donate large sums of money to many organizations and scientific
research programs through the foundation he has built himself in 2000. Forbes
magazine placed him among the richest businessmen in the world for 13
consecutive years and in 2008 was accepted stock fell by 15% putting him third
richest man in the world. After struggling during this planning strategy in
computer programming, Bill Gates finally effort worthwhile.
The conclusion is Bill Gates an
ambitious in any intending to do. His focus and determination to do what he
wants to enjoy. Attitude do not despair Bill Gates motivate potential
entrepreneurs out there to continue to mean doing things that can be
highlighted. The characteristics of entrepreneurs that is in Bill Gates can
contribute to society and economy.
2.5 Open
Culture
Open culture where knowledge is a
concept that should be distributed freely and growth must be inclusive of the
build, change or enrich the work already existing on the basis of partnership
and cooperation, without adhering to the rules relating to the legal protection
of intellectual property.
William
Henry "Bill" Gates III was born on October 28 (1955). He is an
American who is a business magnate, philanthropist, investor, computer
programmer, and inventor. Bill Gates is very proficient in mathematics and is
interested in personal computing since childhood. He set up Microsoft and get
the project to use BASIC, a computer programming language on any release of the
latest personal computer. To ensure that Microsoft products are still the number
one in the business of operating system, Microsoft is partnering with companies
personal computer to load 'Windows', available on all new computers. With the
success of the collaboration, Microsoft became a giant in the field of
operating systems and makes Bill Gates as the richest man in the world to this
day.
As a
leader, Bill Gates execute business culture very impressive. For him, it is
important to involve everybody as it is impossible to master all the technical
knowledge or do all the work yourself. Bill Gates built a business culture that
is open to promote an atmosphere of free and relaxed, creating a structure with
flat hierarchies are not many, dividing the company into small groups,
providing groups with clear tasks and give full responsibility for the tasks to
be stimulate discussion and debate as well as recognize and celebrate the
success of the group or individual.
For example, Bill Gates sent a
message to his employees that he would consider the mistakes of its employees
carefully and compromise when necessary. Especially if they can learn something
from it to make a mistake.
