Very interesting story
 
today, at my school, a motivational speaker came and spoke to us about, well, motivation. he told us a very intersting stroy. he knew a brilliant young man who lived in florida. the boy was 15 yrs old, and great at computer skills. Microsoft had been posting problems that they were having on their website that they hoped others could help them figure out. this boy solved one of their problems, and didnt think anything about it. they then released a Superdifficult problem that none of their top guys could figure out. bill gastes even got somewhat involved in this. they were hoping that someone on this planet could help them. this kid tok on the problem. microsoft sent him an email, asking if he was making progress. he said yes. he told them to give him 30 minutes. in the time, he said he prayed for the entire time that God would help him with this difficult task. 30 minutes later, the answer came to him. the people at Microsoft about wet their pants at this news. they said, "we want to offer you a job with us. money is no problem." he said "hold on, let me ask my parents!" they ask him how old he was, and he told them 15. he and his family now live in the northwest, where he is working at Microsoft.

That is Awesome!!!!
