Bill Gates is one of the best-known business figures. He is one of the world's richest man, philanthropist, investor, Microsoft founder. But it is worth mentioning that Gates is an avid reader.
Everyone wants to become as rich as Bill Gates and success. One of the most important habits we learned from him is his enthusiasm in learning and reading area. Gates from a very young when he started reading generated great interest. Fifth grade, he had read many books, novels, science fiction, and even read the encyclopedia. Since Gates was fascinated to read, his parents had to develop "policy does not read" at the dinner table.
Until today, Bill Gates continues to read. He revealed himself to read at least 50 non-fiction books a year. He said he prefers to read non-fiction books, like science and reference books, as they can explain the way the world works.
Most people will have this question: "Bill Gates is how to do a year to read so many books and how he reading??"
The following is a share Bill Gates in an interview a few tricks.
1, blank pages in the book notes
Gates believes that in order to more fully learned to read the contents of the book, must take notes in the margin. This is the most people reading never do.
For most people, they will choose a book, sit back and start reading. Even a sudden brilliant idea while reading, they still continue to read, but not write it down, they are likely to forget that behind these ideas.
Bill Gates said, never let this happen to you, would occasionally stop to write down their thoughts when he considered interesting reading. When you write something, you will strengthen these thoughts in mind, so that you will remember more firmly. More importantly, you can really focus on getting the knowledge in the book for their own use, not just to read and read.
古人说，不动笔墨不读书，就是这个道理，记笔记的过程也是梳理思路、加强思考的过程，有人觉得写笔记浪费时间，但这是读懂一本书的必经之路，所谓磨刀不误砍柴工，读一些经典著作，多花点时间进行思考，才能成长得更快。
2、如果不能读完一本书，就不要开始
比尔·盖茨读书的另一个重要原则是：如果你不能读完一本书，就不要开始阅读。
他选择不去阅读一本他看不完的书。
他说曾经看了一个电影，觉得很精彩，然后他找到原著想看看，发现这是一本非常复杂的长篇巨著，他很纠结，但最终还是决定放弃，他说，我不能因为这本书，破坏我的规则。
掌握这一原则可能有些困难，但是当你开始读了一本书，又没有读完，就会遗漏书中的很多要点，也会误解书中的一些观点。另外，阅读是一种习惯，当你不读完一本书而继续去阅读另一本新书时，这个习惯将渐渐体现在你的性格之中，并在你的生活中展现出来，做事容易半途而废。
也许，但凡成功人士都有自己的一种执着，一件事要么不做，要做就做好，绝不能半途而废或者草草了事，读书亦然。
所以，如果不能读完这本书，就不要开始阅读。
3、相比电子书，更喜欢纸质书
盖茨说，他将从阅读印刷书籍转向电子书籍，不过他还说：“但是当我晚上坐在那里读书时，通常是阅读纸质杂志或书籍，我已经习惯了。”
当然，你可以选择阅读一本书的时候，实体书和电子书都有一份，当你想要舒适的阅读时，就去读实体书，因为长时间凝视屏幕会感到疲劳。
找到最适合你的方法就可以了。例如，在上下班或等待时，你可以用平板电脑或手机上阅读 APP 读电子书。当你有空时，你可以选择阅读纸质书籍。无论怎么样，都要使你的阅读过程愉快，以便你能更大程度的汲取知识。
4、一天至少阅读一个小时
最后，盖茨分享道，如果你真的想阅读很多书并从阅读中获得最大收益，则必须每天至少花一个小时专门阅读。
他说：“如果你像我这样读书的话，你会想一次坐上1个小时。因为如果时间太短，你就很难集中注意力，你会在这里待 5 分钟，那里待 10 分钟，一会儿看看杂志，一会儿刷刷视频。”
花至少一个小时不间断的阅读，在阅读时，不要分心或做其他事情。专心阅读，记笔记并思考所读内容。
比尔·盖茨（Bill Gates）还说，阅读不仅仅涉及书中的语句，当你将注意力放在思考和将阅读的内容与生活联系起来时，这本书的价值将大大增加。
正是因为每天都要踏踏实实地看1小时书，比尔盖茨才能在一年时间看 50 多本书，并取得显著进步。
这是亿万富翁比尔·盖茨分享的四个秘诀。盖茨还说，“你可以从书中获得最大收益，与其被动的阅读，不如主动养成读书的习惯。”
对于大多数人来说，阅读是一项令人愉快的活动，是一种能够让自己学到更多知识的方式，通过阅读，不仅可以增强自己的智力，还能发展创新思维和积极学习的能力。阅读将成为你的生活方式，它将改变并改善你的生活。
好好挑选一些对自己来说必须要看完的书，每天抽出一个小时来，一边读书一边做笔记，一边思考一边实践，希望我们也能一年读 50 本书，让自己每年都有成长。
