The most important aspect of my personality as far as determining my success goes has been my questioning conventional wisdom, doubting experts and questioning authority. While that can be painful in your relationships with your parents and teachers, it’s enormously useful in life.

Fox News is preparing to be sued for coronavirus misinformation.  

The Fox News group has been criticized for playing down the danger of the deadly coronavirus to its viewers while taking actions internally to mitigate the spread. 

In early March Murdoch cancelled his 89th birthday celebrations due to Coronavirus concerns while Fox News, owned by News Corporation, was downplaying the seriousness of the pandemic.

In 1975, 22-year-old Gates was arrested in New Mexico for speeding and driving without a license. In 1997, he was arrested again, this time for running a red while driving without a license.

Gates inspiration for his incredible philanthropy may have been imparted by his parents. His mother, Mary Maxwell Gates, served on the board of the United Way.

While their father may have a net worth of over $80 billion, the Gates children will inherit only $10 million each.

Gates’ schedule is planned down to the minute, but somehow he still finds time to read 50 books each year. That’s almost a book per week.

Bill Gates

The belief that the world is getting worse, that we can’t solve extreme poverty and disease, isn’t just mistaken. It is harmful.

Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.

I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.

All of us, in a sense, struggle continuously all the time because we never get what we want. The important thing which I’ve really learned is how do you not give up, because you never succeed in the first attempt.

Live the present intensely and fully, do not let the past be a burden, and let the future be an incentive. Each person forges his or her own destiny.

When we face our problems, they disappear. So learn from failure and let success be the silent incentive.
