 Working for Computer Center Corporation At the age of 13, Bill Gates and his best friends
programmers had gotten banned from using computers in the CCC for hacking their whole
local system. However, when the punishment ended, they offered working for the company
finding bugs in their codes in exchange for the ability to use their devices for free. The
arrangement with CCC continued until 1970 when the company went out of business. It
shows how important it was for young Bill to chase his dreams and even as a young teenager
work in the field of programming. He has been always working towards his passion.

vision for Microsoft – ‘A computer on every desk, and in every home, running Microsoft
software’, he said. Microsoft did not only succeed in making operating systems, but also in
developing computer games and office software.
