Bill Gates is described using many adjectives. He is, first and foremost, described as a visionary, but his also described as a humanitarian. He has been described as an entrepreneur, in addition to being described as an investor and a philanthropist. While he wears many hats, all of this he accredits to one skill he picked up early in life.
Reading is something that he spent a lot of time doing as a child, and as an adult, he spends a lot of time doing this activity. In a world where technology in many cases has replaced words with visuals, it is hard to fathom one of the inventors of this technology read quite a bit. However, even in this digital age, Gates says a lot of his success relates to the fact that he reads quite a bit. It makes sense, though, because reading not only exposes the reader to a lot of new information, but it also helps people become more inventive and creative.
