A disease suffered by kids nowadays, the symptom is delusional thinking if they're dropping out from school/college and start a business, they can be as successful as Bill Gates
Synonyms: college dropouts syndrome, school dropouts syndrome, Steve Jobs syndrome, Mark Zuckerberg syndrome, Kanye West syndrome, survivorship bias
How to cure people with Bill Gates syndrome:
Give them a reality check:
1. Entrepreneurship is not for everyone
2. Your business will never take on Apple, let alone Microsoft or the Purple (AstraZeneca), and you won't noticed on Forbes magazine, let alone as a cover model
3. Stay in school, the best is yet to come
When you sucked at school or dropped out while your friends didn't, either because you were lazy, poor, or slow (or a mix of two or the three).... and later on it turns out you owned them (whatever the meaning) and they're pretty much in shit.
