Originality

It is usually aways a better idea to use original ideas and not to copy someone else's idea. Repeating a used idea is not anything special, nor will it contribute to to the world around us. Without new ideas which sprout around, it becomes difficult to advance in knowledge, for the information we have now, did not come free. Leonardo da Vinci created the Mona Lisa. Isaac Newton discovered the law of gravity. Galileo Galilei improved the sight of the universe and space. None of them copied or heavily relied on past knowledge. Bill Gates wasn't caught up with his friends and classmates when he attended Harvard, instead he wanted to create something new, and he did: Microsoft. Ideas and opinions shouldn't be taken from someone else, they should come from each individual.

When Bill Gates began to excel in computer science, he created a very successful company in the name of Microsoft. During that time, many computer software creators had made softwares for many to use. Their softwares were free, and every one was content with that idea. Everyone else thought that this was the way computers should be. However, Gates did not agree that the softwares should be made free, and thought that people who wish to use their softwares, should pay for the services.

Even though the other computer software designers discouraged him from believing in such, he stuck to his ideas and thought on fair business. He created Microsoft and charged people who wanted to use his software. Microsoft was very powerful and useful and many people thought it was worth the money they paid. Because of Gates' own thoughts on successful business, Microsoft rose into being one of the greatest companies.

Bill Gates didn't agree with the rest of the world when most people did. His mind strayed from the single point on view on computer marketing and found a better and more successful way of doing business. People should try using their own thoughts and opinions when making a decision, for there is always a better choice.

It is healthy for the brain to think of original ideas, to practise making personal analyzations of a subject rather than copying others. Of course, it it true that other ideas can help give inspiration, but considering that all great breakthrough came with original, uncharted territory, people can be their own leaders instead of being caught up in what everyone else thinks.
