Chapter 7 Section 2 Bill?What did Gates inherit from his mother?
Deep down in everyone's heart, there is a desire to be praised and praised. ? ?

On the campus website of the University of Washington, a questionnaire was posted on Mother's Day one year: What did you inherit from your mother? ?

The webpage design of this questionnaire is very unique. They made a small animation at the place where the questionnaire was opened: an old lady is watching a goldfish tank, and a great white shark is swimming in the fish tank. Click, it will eat a small goldfish, and spread a sentence: "Anything that moves is my prey."?
At first, everyone thought that this animation was designed casually, but after clicking it, they realized that the old lady staring at the fish tank was the chairman of the University of Washington—Bill?Gates' mother Mary?Gates, the Jaws quote is a famous quote from her son.That sentence was repeatedly cited by federal judges in the 2001 antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft Corporation. ?
The questionnaire designer of the University of Washington used this animation as an introduction, it is said to commemorate their chairman, because she passed away not long ago, and also to give website visitors a hint: "As long as you answer this question, we will Tell you, Bill? How did Gates respond."?
As we all know, Gates has been the richest man in the world for many years.He started his own business before graduating from university, and in just 20 years, he has accumulated a huge amount of private wealth.Such a rare genius, what did he inherit from his mother?Or, what did his mother give him?Who is not interested in such questions? ?

Michael opened the questionnaire and found that there were indeed many visitors.By the time he clicked it, nearly 8 netizens had clicked on it and answered their questions. ?
To know Bill?Gates' mother left the "alchemy of life" to his son, and Michael filled in the character from his mother-piety as required.After hitting "send," and before I could blink, a sentence popped up saying, "OK! You inherited the same thing from your mother as Bill Gates did."?
Just when Michael thought he had been cheated, a picture appeared on the screen.It's a photocopy of a physical greeting card, is it Bill?Gates sent it to his mother on Mother's Day in 1975. This year,
He is a sophomore at Harvard University. ?
Bill?Gates wrote this passage in italics on the card: "I love you! Mom, you never said I was inferior to others; you were always looking for praise in what I did; I miss and All your time together."?
It turned out that this talented rich man who is unique in the world has obtained from his mother something that everyone needs but is neglected by many mothers: appreciation and praise. ?
Mind walk?

Harvard psychology professor William?James once said: The deepest principle of human nature is to hope that others will appreciate you.This sentence is believed and used by Harvard professors. When talking about the power of appreciation, they always talk about Bill who dropped out of Harvard?Gates example. ?
Compliments are something everyone craves.No matter how big or insignificant your accomplishments are, just being genuinely praised makes your heart explode and make you feel like everything in the world is cuter.No wonder Mark?Twain said: "With just one word of praise, I can live a full two months." Since praise has such a great charm, please praise others generously and sincerely. ?
