Showing Up for Life: Thoughts on the Gifts of a LifetimeA heartfelt, deeply personal book, Showing Up for Life shines a bright light on the values and principles that Bill Gates Sr. has learned over a lifetime of "showing up" lessons that he learned growing up during the Great Depression, and that he instilled in his children and continues to practice on the world stage as the co chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

A heartfelt, deeply personal book, Showing Up for Life shines a bright light on the values and principles that Bill Gates Sr. has learned over a lifetime of "showing up"--lessons that he learned growing up during the Great Depression, and that he instilled in his children and continues to practice on the world stage as the co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Through the course of several dozen narratives arranged in roughly chronological fashion, Gates introduces the people and experiences that influenced his thinking and guided his moral compass. Among them: the scoutmaster who taught him about teamwork and self reliance; and his famous son, Trey, whose curiosity and passion for computers and software led him to ultimately co-found Microsoft. Through revealing stories of his daughters, Kristi and Libby; his late wife, Mary, and his current wife, Mimi; and his work with Nelson Mandela and Jimmy Carter, among others, he discusses the importance of hard work, getting along, honoring a confidence, speaking out, and much more.

Showing Up for Life translates one man's experiences over fourscore years of living into an inspiring road map for readers everywhere.

As Bill Gates Sr. puts it:

I'm 83 years old. Representing the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and everyone who is a part of it has given me the opportunity to see more of the world and its rich possibilities than most people ever do. I never imagined that I'd be working this late in life, or enjoying it so much.

Very Nice End Table! Sturdy!
Color: Ink Black, Number of Items: 2, Color: Ink Black, Number of Items: 2
These are great tables, especially to use along side a recliner and couch. They're easy to put together. Follow the directions! Everything you need is in there including the screwdriver!! Lay it on its side on the floor when your building it, tighten all the tabs a half turn and did I mention?... never use power tools when building small furniture like this. once they're done, you'll love them... there's a nice drawer to keep things in -- remotes, etc It's pretty, sturdy, I bet will last a long time. ♡

Nice Side Table
Color: Ink Black, Number of Items: 1
This is a nice side table. The assembly hardware is of good quality. The wood product finishes are very nice and the pieces assemble solidly. The instructions are easy to follow except for the drawer slides where a little more concentration is needed . . . or maybe it’s just me.

Nice and sturdy side table but the white is not white
Color: Farmhouse White, Number of Items: 2, Color: Farmhouse White, Number of Items: 2
This is a nice-looking and sturdy side table. We found it easy to assemble. It works well in small spaces. Be sure to check the dimensions so you aren’t surprised by how narrow and long it is. The drawer is small, but big enough to hold some remotes or other small items. We ordered the white with brown top. Unfortunately, it definitely is not white but more of an ivory or cream color.
