      @Jaime Argudo That was not what you were angry about initially you said why isn't he donating his money to charity, food, shelter and many more. To which people replied, he does!!! He constantly donates.
      Your second statement "just because I have better ideas than him...". What ideas? Why haven't I seen any of them. If you're just a 9 year old troll spewing hate, then, it's definitely a mistake to even bother you.
      "....doesn't mean you have to attack me". Awwhh. Is someone going to cry. Lemme give you horse milk to calm you down. On a serious note: So you can attack Bill Gates but people can't attack you (a world fobulous changer that donotes trillions to good causes with mind pondering ideas). Sure buddy, sure.

    Oh wow hahaha. I did almost the same thing (what he first mentions) back in high school; I was such a brat. We had homework/test grade breakdowns in most classes, and I would try to maximize the test average and purposely miss assignments to minimize the HW average, then brag to everyone (including teachers) about maximizing my "output-to-work ratio" (i.e., look at me, I do so well on tests w/o doing the HW like all you; I'm so talented and smart). Of course I would sometimes end up effectively doing the same work while cramming days before exams. 25yo now, definitely not an "adult" adult at this point, for better or worse, but I cringe/laugh (softly - I'm not that hard on my adolescent self) daily at many, many similar behaviors. If you're a teen - don't be too hard on yourself. You're supposed to make mistakes (not on purpose, though). You're in a different reality, whether or not your'e the smartest/dumbest, star QB/clumsy "nerd" - it's all so magnified and distorted - don't worry and have (responsible) fun, and just do the best you can with what you've got. Coming from a very, very weird adolescent, as hard as it may be to imagine one day high school, and your social standing/status therein, will be endearing memories of progressing - haphazardly - towards... passable maturity. :D

Grade wise I received mostly C+'s. It wasn't until I began my studies for my Bachelor's of Science that I received nearly all A's in my courses, with the exception of two courses that I received a B+ and a C+ in. I graduated Magna Cum Laude.

      He actually has a tumor in his brain that unables him to focus in just one spot. If you focus here you can actually see his speech impediment 0:26 one time he even took a shit in his eye glasses, and said it would cure his eye sight and make his vision sharper and obviously, it did work

    I think a mentor is required to become the best programmer you can be. Why did this video feel like 30 minutes to me?

    This is why I often do not enjoy listening to a lot of people talk in recordings, when I would typically very much enjoy and grow from so many people in person. Bill Gates sets a new record for me, most admired by reputation but unbelievably impossible to emotional or intellectually connect to from a pre-recorded video.
    I've tried, I've tried God knows I've tried.
    Love and Respect Sir, Kyle

    Nobody can get to US. First a full return trip costs you 7 lakhs. With no guarantee if you fall from sky. So is the cost of railroads cabs ship etc. Only a few copilot may make it. Never spend too much money on what is not worth. Even a university degree in US. A return trip in train to Delhi and Mumbai back is about a years fees for a college student.
