To je Bill Gates a toto je jeho biografia. Zdrojový kód – Moje začiatky.

Kniha nehovorí o zlatej ére Microsoftu ani o vzniku Gatesovej nadácie alebo o budúcnosti technológií. Je to ľudský a veľmi osobný príbeh o tom, ako sa Bill Gates stal tým, kým je dnes.

Medzi Paulom a mnou vždy panoval komplikovaný vzťah – bola to zmes náklonnosti a rivality. Podobne sa možno cítia dvaja bratia. Obvykle sa naše rozdielne povahy a  záujmy dopĺňali v prospech celej veci. Vzájomné rozdiely nás poháňali dopredu a  robili nás lepšími.

Sprevádza nás detstvom a odkrýva jeho rané vášne a záujmy. Je to aj príbeh o zásadovej starej mame a ambicióznych rodičoch, o prvých hlbokých priateľstvách a náhlej smrti najlepšieho priateľa. Sleduje snahu mladého chlapca zapadnúť, ale aj prvé dotyky so svetom programovania a počítačov na úsvite novej éry. Opisuje, ako sa už v tínedžerskom veku vydal na cestu, ktorá ho od nočných výletov do neďalekého počítačového centra zaviedla až do internátnej izby na univerzite, kde zapálil iskru revolúcie, ktorá zmenila svet.

Chceli sme názov, ktorý by vzbudzoval vážnosť, podobne ako náš vzor Digital Equipment Corp. Za týmto názvom sa skrýval hrozivý titán. S takým názvom by nás ľudia možno brali vážne, čo pre dvoch mladých chlapcov, ktorí to skúšali na vlastnú päsť, stále pôsobilo ako príliš ambiciózny cieľ. Paul dostal ďalší nápad: keďže sme vyvíjali softvér pre mikropočítače, mohli by sme použiť kombináciu týchto dvoch slov. Súhlasil som. Konečne sme mali vlastný názov: Micro-Soft.

Vidíme, ako sa popasoval s rôznymi problémami, ako prekonával prekážky a ako sa rozhodoval. Nie sú to suché fakty, či oslavná autobiografia, ale emotívny príbeh, ktorý Bill Gates podáva z nadhľadu. Vie sa na sebe pobaviť, zasmiať (viď samotná obálka, na ktorej je ako bezzubý chlapec:-)). A hlavne môže byť inšpiráciou, ako tvrdá práca a vášeň pre niečo môžu viesť k úspechu.

Stretnutie so Stevom Jobsom

Kútikom oka som zrazu zachytil dobre vyzerajúceho chlapíka v mojom veku s dlhými čiernymi vlasmi, so strniskom na brade a v obleku. Stál o niekoľko stánkov ďalej obklopený húfom ľudí. Už z diaľky bolo vidno, že sa okolo neho vznáša určitá aura.
Povedal som si: „Čo to je za chlapíka?“
V ten deň som sa zoznámil so Stevom Jobsom.
Spoločnosť Apple, hoci v porovnaní s ostatnými išlo o menšiu firmu, vynikala. Už vtedy bol očividný charakteristický dizajn, vďaka ktorému sa počas nasledujúcich desaťročí značka Apple, a  s  ňou aj Jobs, stala ikonou.

Bill Gates sa delí o svoj príbeh po prvýkrát. Ide o múdre a láskavé rozprávanie, ktoré odhaľuje fascinujúci portrét života jedného Američana.

Bill Gates je technológ, popredný podnikateľ a filantrop. V roku 1975 so svojím priateľom z detstva Paulom Allenom založil spoločnosť Microsoft a dnes je predsedom nadácie Gates Foundation. Zároveň založil organizáciu Breakthrough Energy zameranú na obchodné využitie čistej energie a iných technológií súvisiacich s ochranou klímy, a spoločnosť TerraPower, ktorá sa venuje vývoju priekopníckych jadrových technológií. Bill Gates má tri deti.

    The pectoralis major is responsible for rotating and flexing
    the upper limbs towards the midline of the physique. "A key good thing about using dumbbells is having the ability to isolate and establish unilateral deficiencies inside the chest and shoulder," says Stan Rotay, CSCS and bossman at ONEup Performance.
    I strongly encourage you to perform these workouts accurately, as that will have an enormous impression in your progress.
    The dumbbell mendacity triceps extension is a superb move to
    start your triceps routine. Triceps extensions are isolation workouts,
    which means they use only one joint. It begins slightly below the shoulder blade socket and at two distinct areas
    of the humerus. Furthermore, specializing in and working the three tricep head muscles is crucial for max features.

    It’s important that you simply train your chest with
    completely different rep schemes and volume. This exercise is great for full chest activation, but the main goal is your
    outer, internal, and upper chest. Your elbows must be slightly bent and about
    30˚ away out of your body. Contract your chest and raise the dumbbells up, keeping your elbows and wrists fastened.
    Cease when the bells of each dumbbells are just about
    to the touch each other, then return slowly again to the starting place through the
    same path of motion.
    If you’re unsure of your expertise degree with chest exercises, start with the beginner workout.
    Once it becomes too simple for you, move on to the intermediate degree, and so
    on. The decision with whether or not to go with dumbbells or the barbell for the bench press
    is in the end up to you and what you need to obtain in the fitness center.

    In this article, we discuss the most effective triceps and
    chest workouts you can do with the help of dumbbells to construct muscle mass and energy.
    Start by adjusting your bench to an incline position, between 30 and 45 levels (if you don't have access to an adjustable bench, go
    straight to Degree 3). Keep the same primary setup as the flat bench press, but enable the angle
    to help you work via a wider vary of motion on the backside of the carry.
    Lie again on the bench, making sure your ft are flat on the bottom and your glutes
    and abs are engaged. Drive your shoulders into the bench to
    create rigidity in your again, pressing the burden straight up with
    both hands. Keep Away From flaring your elbows out excessively whenever you deliver
    the weight back down to your chest; goal for a 45-degree
    angle to your torso. Once you'll have the ability to comfortably perform the prescribed reps, transfer to the next
    progression.
    As you can see, we understand and respect the bench press, but it isn't with out its faults...
    The reason everyone appears to be benching is because it’s probably the most dominant train there is to reveal maximal pushing strength; that and they might not know what else to do.

    Conventional dips involve lowering your body downward while
    your palms grip two parallel bars, and your toes are off the ground.
    Weighted dips, on the other hand, involve including extra resistance to extend the train's depth.
    To get essentially the most out of your bench coaching, make certain to incorporate
    these workout routines in your program.
    If you're getting stronger on either carry, these
    are good indicators that you're gaining muscle in your upper body.
    To see the best positive aspects, I would suggest biking back and forth between the two to avoid any
    stalls in progress. The concern with out that line of pondering is that you're not considering instability.

    With barbells, the bar touches your chest before your pectoral muscles have
    reached their full vary of movement. However dumbbells allow you to lower previous your chest, stretching your pecs to
    the max, and thus activating essentially the most
    potential muscle fibers. The dumbbell chest press must be a staple in everyone’s chest day workout plan. If you wouldn't have either of
    this stuff, you may have to get creative with your exercise routines to have the ability
    to still build up your energy. Fortunately, a standing chest press doesn't
    require the use of a bench or a spotter. Fully capable of
    a stand-alone compound carry or the right compliment to
    any push-day routine, dumbbell chest variations are essential!

    Creating a muscular and well-defined chest is a priority for a lot of gym-goers, however not all urgent workout routines ship outcomes
    on the identical fee. The dumbbell press and barbell press are each staples in chest improvement, yet they
    activate muscles in a different way and influence hypertrophy
    in unique ways. The variable of rotation permits for extra
    muscle activation and requires extra coordination.
    If you could have dumbbells then you are able
    to do a few of the finest dumbbell chest workouts, we went
    over above with no bench. You also can get an intense workout out in by performing chest workouts with
    resistance bands where there isn’t a necessity for a bench
    to complete. Mastering the incline dumbbell press appropriately is a priceless addition to any fitness routine.

    By following these directions and implementing the key ideas,
    you presumably can successfully target your
    upper chest, shoulders, and triceps. Keep In Mind to prioritize proper type, use acceptable weights,
    and hearken to your body. With consistency and dedication, the incline dumbbell press will assist you to elevate
    your health to new heights. If you only carry
    out a flat bench press, you'll miss out on developing
    the higher chest.
