To keep up with the changing market environment, every two years or so, Microsoft undertook another major reorganization. These structural transformations have another side, an internal one.

Astrology taught me a lot. For four years I studied at the Russian Astrological School of Alexander Zaraev and received a certificate. Astrology, in my opinion, gives the best explanation of what our physical world is. Take, for example, the fact that the moon affects the state of the liquid. We all know why tides ebb and flow. The human body is 90% liquid. And if you take a person's astrological chart and look at what happened at his birth, what is happening now, what crises have happened, you can understand what will happen next. -(Vladimir Samokhin, founder and CEO of Rocolor)

I left Harvard to start my own business, and I do not regret it, but when, referring to my example, someone claims that education is not necessary for successful business, I always clarify: this is true only when the realization of an idea that has captured a person urgently, and he is convinced that such a chance will never come again. In all other cases, it is better to finish your studies. If only because a young person is rarely taken seriously in business. In addition, a degree can subsequently play a decisive role in obtaining the desired job. An example is Microsoft itself, in which key positions are almost never hired by people who have not completed their education. And this despite the fact that it was founded by two college dropouts. - (Bill Gates, 1955, head of Microsoft Corporation, the richest man on the planet)

If we don't start experimenting, our model will become obsolete, and we can't afford it. As happens with colleagues who want reliability.

25. I am richer than my father was, but I did not start from scratch - at the start I had a very good foundation.

26. Despite the fact that I am a businessman, as they say, to the marrow of my bones and I often have to be in public, I am a home person. I love coming home and being with my family.

If my opponents find out about my weaknesses, it will go to my disadvantage.

32. Don't let anger get the better of you. Many people think that I am an angry, angry type. But this is not true. I am hard, I am demanding - but I never lose my temper. Yes, one must be firm, but uncontrolled anger is not firmness, it is weakness. It takes you away from the goal and destroys your concentration.

38. Pay more attention to small amounts in your finances - cents, percentages. Gradually accumulating, these little things have a huge impact on your budget.

41. If you have any doubts, just believe in yourself and believe that you will definitely win. Nobody else will do this for you. Do not cling to someone else's assurances and do not seek encouragement from others if you feel that the task is not up to you. Develop self-confidence.

48. Rich people are rich because they solve difficult problems. You must learn to feed your energy with problems. The CEOs of large companies are paid gigantic salaries because they solve problems that no one but them can solve.

55. To achieve your goals, you need patience and enthusiasm. Think big - but be realistic. To achieve some of my goals, I waited for thirty whole years. Look at media mogul Rupert Murdoch: how many years he waited for the opportunity to buy The Wall Street Journal. All his life he wanted to buy this edition - and he knew that sooner or later he would buy it. Rupert is a true genius.

56. Obstacles constantly arise - you can be sure of that. But see them as a challenge, not as a barrier. Then you will find the strength to overcome them. The most important thing is to be tenacious. And never give up. Keep moving forward, keep your eyes on the goal, and don't let failures or setbacks stop you.

57. I never wanted anyone who didn't want to work for my company to work for me; you should do the same: don't stay where you don't like it. Life is too short and work is too important to waste energy on an occupation that brings neither pleasure nor benefit.

Even in the most unfavorable economic situation, it is unforgivable to put them in a stocking.
