Bill Gates – The College Dropout Who Changed the World

Bill Gates – The College Dropout Who Changed the World

Bill Gates’ journey is one of vision, risk, and long-term impact. He left one of the world’s most prestigious universities to chase an idea that many people could not yet understand. Working long nights with limited resources, his early efforts were filled with uncertainty, and his first venture did not succeed. Alongside his childhood friend Paul Allen, Bill Gates founded Microsoft with a bold belief that personal computers would become part of everyday life. At a time when computers were rare and complex, this vision seemed unrealistic to many. But persistence, innovation, and relentless focus led Microsoft to transform how the world works, learns, and communicates. This video traces how a college dropout helped put a computer on nearly every desk and in every home. It also explores the second chapter of his life, where he stepped away from corporate leadership to focus on global health, education, and poverty reduction through philanthropy. Bill Gates’ story is not just about building one of the most powerful technology companies in history. It is about believing in an idea before the world does and using success to create positive change for others. If he can do it, why can’t you?
