69. We all can choose to do whatever we want.
It may take longer for some than others, but we can all choose to do whatever we want. But, we have to remember that choices have consequences. And, there is a price to be paid for everything.

And, what do you think would happen if Gates decided to remain the head of Microsoft, but to never show up for work? He's got a lot of pressure to keep that company going and keep it profitable. Look at Enron. Kenny Boy Lay was one friggin wealthy individual, wasn't he? Today, you can't give Enron stock away...all because of poor choices.

Gates didn't fall into his wealth. He is where he is because of the CHOICES he made in life, and the risks he took that paid off for him. But, his position in life obligates him to a helluva lot of people. And, he answers to every one of them. An employee of Microsoft Corporation is one of Bill Gates' creditors. Every day a Microsoft Employee goes to work, they put Bill Gates in debt to them.
