Customer Reviews:Average Customer Rating: Philosophy Customer Rating:   Each chapter in Bill Gates, Sr.'s book, Showing Up for Life: Thoughts on the Gifts of a Lifetime, conveys a tidbit of wisdom, a family story, an anecdote that provides a building block in the development of one's personal philosophy. Each of us decides how we choose to live, and in Showing Up for Life, Mr. Gates makes it clear that some of those decisions are as simple as deciding whether to be present or not. Most decisions, though, involve a sense of purpose or duty. After reading this book, it's easy to understand why Bill Gates, Jr. looks up to his father, and also easy to understand why philanthropy is of such importance to this family. Any reader who enjoys listening to the wisdom of elders will enjoy this book, and every parent will find something on these pages to emulate in one's own family. handbook for parents Customer Rating: This is a book filled with wisdom and appreciation for the struggles and growth of each family member. It is a wonderful collection of great memories. Each couple or few pages is a fresh story that illustrates a worthwhile experience. Great Book Customer Rating: A great read. Nice, short chapters allow you to sneak reading it into a busy day. Refreshing... Wise and inspiring words Customer Rating: Bill Gates, Sr is a delightful man who gives readers some of his wisdom in this short book. It can be read in about two hours with frequent chapters changes and even a few pictures. Readers will get a glimpse into the Gates' family life, Microsoft, and of course the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. I also appreciated understanding the foundation's rationale for how they spend their funds for example the emphasis on health in Africa. Although not the best writing and some may find it hokey, it is still a worthwhile read. Ideal for a graduation gift. The Nicest Book I've Ever Read! Customer Rating: If you want to do something nice for yourself today, then read this book. This book is not about what it's like to be Bill Jr.'s dad. It's about being a good person. I'm really glad that Bill Sr. wrote this book and that I decided to read it. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
