evidence: Why was Bill Gates Wrong about Hiring Lazy People? There is a very famous quote from Bill Gates: "I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. This is a very good saying and when I heard that first, I was shocked a little and it made sense to me. However, in time, while gaining experience by working, I noticed that it was wrong. In this article, firstly, I will try to explain why it’s wrong, and then we will try to fix it. [...] Because of these kinds of cases, in my opinion, what Bill Gates said is wrong. It should be fixed as this: "I choose a lazy person who won’t sacrifice the quality of the job and will always do the right thing." but this quote is not cool that much. Hence, I want to suggest a completely different one.
