It may strike some as odd that a college dropout would be asked to give commencement speeches…unless that dropout is Microsoft founder Bill Gates.
Mr. Gates dropped out of Harvard to start Microsoft in the mid 1970’s. As a result, he never got to hear the commencement speech he would have enjoyed had he completed his degree.
In a post on his GatesNotes site, he offers a summary of a commencement address he gave a few weeks ago at Northern Arizona University. He remarks that “the advice I shared with the class of 2023 is advice I could have used myself.”
Take a few minutes as shares “5 things I wish I heard at the graduation I never had.”
