He had us laughing in stiches with his stories of swimming in Lake Bill and the early days. One story in particular stood out. Mike had a summer job during college in Oklahoma pouring asphalt/rocks to fix the roads. It was hot and dusty and Mike, being a big strong football player, had started the job shoveling fast, but he would tire quickly and would have to take breaks. He noticed that a quiet, skinner older man would be slow and steady shoveling the materials to fix the roads and didn't tire. This man would get twice as much roadwork done than Mike could. So Mike did what that man did, and he said he learned from that early job, that it didn't matter what a person boasted about or how they appeared, what mattered was their experience in doing the job and getting results. As Microsoft celebrates its 50th year, it's people like Mike who helped set the right course early and shared his experience. I am glad he had a long retirement and was able to enjoy his family. May he rest in peace.",

I dream of becoming a physicist one day, but my journey is hindered by financial constraints that limit my access to the resources I need to learn and grow. I have a strong desire to explore and understand the profound ideas in physics through the works of renowned scientists and authors. However, I am unable to afford the following books that I believe would greatly enhance my knowledge and perspective: 1. Cosmos 2. The Theory of Everything 3. A Brief History of Time 4. Relativity 5. In Search of Schrödinger's Cat 6. Our Mathematical Universe 7. What Is Mathematics? 8. The God Equation 9. Ripples in Spacetime 10. Gravity 11. The Invisible Universe In addition, I aspire to learn skills like editing and graphic designing, which require a laptop—another resource I currently lack. I deeply admire your work and the impact you have made in advancing science and technology. I humbly request your support in any form, whether by helping me access these resources or guiding me on how I can achieve my dreams despite my limitations. Even a response from you would mean a lot to me and inspire me to work even harder toward my goals Bill Gates",
