Many pages have been written about how he has dominated the revolution in personal computing. But we know little about him as a person. Here's a familiar anecdote which may show his personality: when Bill Gates was in the sixth grade his parents decided that he needed some kind of help. He was at war with his mother Mary an extrovert woman who believed that he should do what she told him. !he would call him to dinner from his bedroom which she had given up trying to make him clean but he wouldn't respond. "#hat are you doing$" she once asked him. "%'m thinking " Bill answered. "&ou're thinking$" "&es Mom %'m thinking " he said aggressively. "Have you tried thinking$" (inally his parents decided to send him to a psychologist. )he psychologist concluded that Bill was extremely intelligent. *fter a one year session and a large amount of tests the psychologist told Bill's parents: "&ou're going to lose. &ou had better ad+ust to it because there's no use trying to punish him. %t's useless to try to compete with him." * lot of computer companies have concluded the same. , -.M/01H12!%.2 Why did Bills parents think that he needed a psychologist?
