Niklas Göke comments about watching the new 3-part documentary about Bill Gates on Netflix < link >. The interviewer asks question after question of Gates who answers directly and honestly. He was asked the question, “What was the worst day in your life?”
The answer? “The day my mother died.”
Göke shares the following:
No matter who you are in this world, no matter who you aspire to be or how big your dreams…at the end of the day, life is not about money, or status, or power.
It’s about people.
The people you meet. The people you miss. The people you hate. Most of all, it’s about the people you love.
