At 68 years old, Bill Gates still longs to continue working

Bill Gates: Longing to continue working. As long as his health permits, his goal is at least ten years or even two or three decades.

Recently, Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, said in an interview with CNBC that as long as his physical condition permits, he expects to work for at least another ten years and even longs to work for two or three decades.

Although Gates, now 68 years old, has been away from Microsoft's front-line business for a long time, he has been active in various fields. According to estimates by Forbes, an American financial magazine, Gates' personal net worth is as high as $128 billion. Currently, he still serves as Microsoft's "technical advisor" and actively promotes public welfare causes such as disease prevention and control, poverty reduction, and climate change through his foundation.

Looking back, Gates was fully dedicated to Microsoft's business when he was young. In his twenties, he almost had no concept of weekends and holidays. Not only did he go all out himself, but he also used to monitor employees' commuting times by recording their license plate numbers, putting great pressure on employees. However, after a joint interview with Buffett in 2017, he seemed to have taken Buffett's advice about controlling his own time and not pushing himself and employees too hard. Nowadays, Gates' lifestyle has changed a lot. He often plays tennis and enjoys vacations. During his breaks, he spends three hours a day reading various books of interest, such as those on Alzheimer's disease and artificial intelligence.

Gates' this idea has aroused widespread attention, and people are full of expectations for Bill Gates' continuous contributions in the fields of business and public welfare in the future. His determination and enthusiasm also set an example for other elders, proving that age is not a factor restricting the pursuit of careers and dreams. No matter what the final result is, Gates' attitude shows his love for work and positive planning for the future.
