Microsoft’s co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates’ has joined LinkedIn.
During his first blog post for LinkedIn, Bill Gates speaks about three skills he has learned from friend and fellow billionaire Warren Buffet.
Bill Gates writes on his LinkedIn blog:
“No matter how much money you have, you can’t buy more time. There are only 24 hours in everyone’s day. Warren has a keen sense of this. He doesn’t let his calendar get filled up with useless meetings. On the other hand, he’s very generous with his time for the people he trusts. He gives his close advisers at Berkshire his phone number, and they can just call him up and he’ll answer the phone”.
Gates also told that Buffet helped him with big decisions regarding both Microsoft and the Gates Foundation.
“The dialogue has been invaluable to me, and not only at Microsoft. When Melinda and I started our foundation, I turned to him for advice. We talked a lot about the idea that philanthropy could be just as impactful in its own way as software had been,” says Gates.
According to news.com.au, Cinton’s profile is a bit light on endorsements and summaries of his skills.
