Bill Gates Waiting In Line For A Burger Teaches Us A Lesson About Humility

Microsoft founder, billionaire Bill Gates loves fast food just like all of us. If you live in Washington, it would not be rare to spot him at Burgermaster, a burger store located on Bellevue.

But this time, he was spotted somewhere else, a local burger joint in Seattle.

On Tuesday, Facebook user Mike Galos uploaded a photo on this Facebook wall which has gone viral. In the photo, the richest man on Earth was wearing a plain jacket, pants, and shoes, with his hands in his pockets. He was waiting in line to take his order, patiently.

We use the word “patiently” because he was not trying to cut the line and didn’t even seem to be rushing at all.

Galos was also a former employee at Microsoft, who said he didn’t take the photo himself. The man found it on a closed board for Microsoft alumni and was posted by another former employee on Sunday. Galos shared the photo along with a caption about humility despite massive success.

However, these kinds of events are not something that happens once in a lifetime. Gate, in fact, is a really approachable person and he just naturally mingle with those who other successful people may consider below their level.

That’s also the kind of personality that Gates wants to teach to students, the future generation of technology. During his appearance in 2011 at the University of Washington, Bill Gates talked to students there about what it’s like to be crazy rich.
