Bill Gates Interview with Gideon Rachman
Here is the interview of Bill Gates with Gideon Rachman on Financial Times,
In 2008, Gates became non-executive chairman of Microsoft and he now devotes most of his time to the foundation.

That was true fanaticism.” In those years, when Warren Buffett, the billionaire investor who is now a close friend, bridge partner and a major donor to the Gates Foundation, wanted to meet the man from Microsoft, Gates initially couldn’t find time in his diary. “I was too busy; I didn’t do things like that.” So, I suggest, you had no social life?

This shows that if you want to make a fortune than you will have to forget those early years of your life means twenties and early thirties. This is because the earlier you put your time and efforts, the more successful your business will grow.
The time is the most precious asset in the world. And that’s why you should utilize your time very carefully.
