How do fearless ideas begin? Travel along with young Bill Gates on his
life's journey full of curiosity, discovery, hard work, and most
important, fearlessness--the inability to see limits. The book invites
young readers to pursue their passions and awaken a sense of ambition
and responsibility for others as they grow.
Think Smart, Be Fearless tells the inspiring story of Bill Gates, one
of America's most fascinating entrepreneurs, starting from his early
years as a precocious, inquisitive child who faced challenges fitting in
with his classmates. Young Bill, known as Trey in his family, was a bit
of a troublemaker, bored at school and prone to acting out. That all
changed in high school with his discovery of the early world of
computers. His instincts immediately told him that computers were the
future. With the support of his family, who encouraged him to think
smart and be fearless, Bill grew to become a technology visionary, who
changed the way everyday people interact with computers, and a
philanthropist whose inability to see limits is working to reduce
poverty and improve global health worldwide.
Complete with back matter that includes a more in-depth look into Bill
Gates's life, a timeline of significant events in his life and in
computer science, and a glossary for inquisitive kids.
