Describe A Businessman You Admire: Sample 1 

It is not enough to be a businessman; one should have a futuristic vision and a desire to bring about positive societal or intrinsic change. That, in my opinion, is what makes a truly successful businessman or entrepreneur. To this end, I admire Bill Gates. He was once the richest man in the world, although that title has been taken by contenders like Jeff Bezos (Amazon founder) today. However, that has not taken away the sheer volume of his contributions across the Planet. 

Everyone in the world has heard of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The organization has done excellent work in combating and lowering poverty, inequality, and diseases worldwide. They have contributed immensely toward social welfare in India as well. Bill Gates has pledged billions of dollars through his foundation toward social welfare. That is what evokes my admiration and respect for the legendary entrepreneur. Of course, his success story with Microsoft, the way he founded his company and brushed aside rejections, trials, and tribulations, is the mark of his legacy. 

However, it is his sharp mind and vision that entices me; the way he speaks when he engages with an audience is mesmerizing. I strongly support his futuristic vision for the Earth and his understanding of what we must do to ensure sustainability and resources for future generations. I sometimes feel that Bill Gates would be the best person to be the President of the United States. The USA is the most powerful global nation today; someone like Gates at the helm would do a lot of good, especially regarding foreign policy. I wish to conclude by reiterating my admiration for Bill Gates and will keep drawing inspiration from his journey.
