2. Early Life and Education:

Larry Page was born on 26th March 1973 to a Jewish family in Michigan, USA. His father, Carl Page, earned a Ph.D. in computer science in 1965 when the field was in its infancy, and is considered a "pioneer in computer science and artificial intelligence." Both he and Page 's mother were computer science professors at Michigan State University. Gloria Page, his mother, is Jewish but he was raised without religion. Both of his parents were professors of computer science at the Michigan State University in their home town. Because of their professions, Page recalls computer equipment and magazines cluttering their home when he was a boy. His father gifted his son Larry a computer when he was just six years old. Page has an older brother, who was apparently responsible for teaching the young Page how to disassemble things in their home and this further fuelled his interest in how everything works. He had always had a strong interest in invention hence his later interest in technology.

Okemos Montessori School (now called Montessori Radmoor) was the first school that he attended from age 2 to 6, and he then went on to East Lansing High School from which he graduated in 1991. After high school he attended the University of Michigan where he obtained his BSc honours in computer engineering. Next he completed a master 's degree at the University of Stanford in the subject of computer science. While at the University of ichigan, "Page created an inkjet printer made of Lego bricks" (actually a line plotter), served as the president of the Eta Kappa Nu in Fall 1994, and was a member of the 1993 "Maize & Blue" university of Michigan Solar Car team.

University of Stanford, this is where he would meet his

    Opposing to the notion that “success is a simple function of individual merit and that the world in which we all grow up and the rules we choose to write as a society don’t matter at all,” Gladwell argues that these extraordinary people “reached their lofty status through a combination of ability, opportunity and utterly arbitrary advantage.” Gladwell uses the Beatles’ early career to describe how the only way to be “successful” is to practice ten thousand hours. According to Gladwell, Bill Gates' intelligence and privileged upbringing can certainly not be denied, but that is not what put him over the top. Gates' leg up actually came when, at the age of ten, the private school he was attending, at the time, installed a computer terminal that was connected to a mainframe in nearby Seattle, Washington, providing Gates with, what was then nearly unheard of, virtually unlimited access and opportunity to learn, practice, and master the complexities of computer…

    In this case study we learn about Jonathan Lebed, at 15 years old, the youngest person during that time and the first minor to ever to face proceedings by the SEC for stock-market fraud. In 2000, Jonathan Lebed caused chaos in the stock trading industry and was accused of “pumping and dumping” stocks over the Internet. Between September 1999 and February 2000 Lebed made hundreds of thousands of dollars by posting in internet chat rooms and on message boards encouraging people to buy penny stocks he already owned, thus, according to the SEC, artificially raising the price of the stock. Lebed was found guilty by the SEC of wrong doing under Section 17(a) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 which addresses fraud in the use on interstate commerce. Under these acts it is unlawful for a person to intentionally provide false statements for the purposes of deceiving buyers. The SEC settled with him for a $285,000 of his earnings. His actions proved that the Internet could be a very powerful tool for fraud.…

    Opportunities and luck tie into some of the greatest success stories. To find a great deal of opportunities where there is none is a true outlier; someone who has enough ambition to proceed in the force of an opportunity. Gladwell uses Bill Gates to demonstrate series of remarkable opportunities. Gates had many opportunities that led him to be one of the most successful people of all time. His first opportunity was he was fortunate to attend Lakeside, a private school, which was the only middle school known with a computer. He experienced programming starting his eighth grade year. He had that opportunity because the mothers formed a computer club, which provided a computer, giving him early access to the flourishing technology era. The computer time was expensive, so the Mother’s club put up Three-thousand dollars to support the fees, which led to another opportunity. When they spent that money, one of the founders of C-cubed, a company that allowed accessing to computers, needed someone to test out the company’s software in trade of free computer time; Gates accepted. Unfortunately C-cubed eventually went bankrupt, but that didn’t set him of the path of his success. Gates fell into the place of ISI (Information Sciences Inc.), which allowed him to work on a piece of software in exchange of free computer time. He estimated twenty or thirty hours of computer time a…

    Stereotypes Of Nerds

    Professional nerds such as Bill Gates stand responsible for much of modern technology used today, as the co-inventor of Microsoft and a multitude of computer software. While nerds are often subject to discrimination, Gates had used his intelligence to lead to massive wealth and fame. Like many others, Gates lacks the stereotypical appearance of nerds. While they are not always acknowledged, nerds are scattered throughout society. In schools, universities, and the work world, many people go the extra mile to enlighten themselves past the general understanding.…

    Some of the opportunities Bill Gates was given were his “free computer time at the University of Washington”(Gladwell, 2008) and also previous to that his mother along with others “had enough money to pay for his high school Lakesides computer fees”(Gladwell, 2008). Without the circumstance of Bill Gates receiving free computer time, chances are he wouldn’t have been nearly as intelligent and innovative with computers as he is today. To reiterate Malcolm Gladwell’s argument about super achievers are successful because of their families, in Bill Gates…
