Recently, Bill Gates announced on his blog that his new book "Source Code: My Beginnings" will be published next year. It is reported that Gates has previously published books about Microsoft, the Gates Foundation or the future of technology, but this book is his first memoir and will tell the story of his childhood, early pursuits and other stories.
Bill Gates said that this is a memoir about his early life, starting from childhood until he decided to leave college and start Microsoft. "I write about the relationships, lessons and experiences that laid the foundation for my later life."
In the book, Gates will share some of the tough parts of his early life, including feeling like he didn't fit in as a child, clashing with his parents as a rebellious teenager, struggling to cope with the sudden loss of a loved one, and nearly being expelled from college. Gates wrote in his blog that the book also describes the challenges he faced when he dropped out of college to enter an industry that didn't exist yet. “But throughout the process, there were many people who believed in me, pushed me to grow, and helped me turn my shortcomings into strengths. I reflect on how lucky I am to be born in a great era of historic technological change and optimism. family and growing up during the rise of the personal computer revolution."
Although he has been in the public spotlight since he was in his twenties, his life before that was not well known, he said. Over the years, he was often asked about his upbringing, his time at Harvard, and his experience co-founding companies, and these questions made him realize that people might be interested in his journey and the factors that influenced his life choices.
Gates revealed that he plans to write two more memoirs, one about his work at Microsoft and the other about philanthropy. "But "Source Code" is my origin story, and I look forward to sharing it."
