A fifth grader gets a homework assignment to select his future career path from a list of occupations. He ticks "astronaut" but quickly adds "scientist" to the list and selects it as well. The boy is convinced that if he reads enough, he can explore as many career paths as he likes. And so he reads – everything from encyclopedias to science fiction novels. He reads so passionately that his parents have to institute a "no reading policy" at the dinner table. That boy was Bill Gates, and he hasn't stopped reading yet – not even after becoming one of the most successful people on the planet. Nowadays, his reading material has changed from science fiction and reference books: recently, he revealed that he reads at least 50 nonfiction books a year. Gates chooses nonfiction titles because they explain how the world works. "Each book opens up new avenues of knowledge to explore", Gates says.
一名五年级的小学生接到一项家庭作业:从一份职业清单里选出自己未来的职业 道路。他勾选了"宇航员",但很快又把"科学家"添进清单,并也一并选上。这个男孩确信,只要书读得够多,他想探索多少职业道路就能探索多少。于是他真的读了起来——从百科全书到科幻小说,什么书都读。他读书读得如此痴迷,以至于父母不得不在餐桌上立下一条"吃饭不许看书"的规矩。那个男孩就是比尔·盖茨,而他至今仍未停止读书——即便已成为这世上最成功的人物 之一,也依旧手不释卷。如今,他读的东西已不再是科幻小说和工具书:最近他透露,自己每年至少要读50本 非虚构类书籍。盖茨之所以选择非虚构类书籍,是因为这些书能讲清世界是如何运转的。盖茨说:"每一本书,都为我打开了一片片有待探索的知识新天地。"
