每个人一开始都要先给成功下一个你自己的定义，有了这些对我们自身的具体的期待，我们就更有可能成功。说到底，那不在于你得到了什么，甚至也不在于你给与了什么，而在于你成为了一个怎样的人。 -玛丽 盖茨（比尔盖茨母亲）

《走进比尔:解码比尔·盖茨人生》是由戴维斯-古根海姆创作并执导的2019年三部纪实网络电视系列片。该系列的前提是探讨微软前CEO、比尔和梅琳达-盖茨基金会创始人比尔-盖茨与其妻子的思想和动机。
和妻女的合照
第一集阐述了盖茨对改善发展中国家卫生状况的兴趣，以及开发 "Omni处理器 "的过程。他的两个姐姐分享了她们的童年回忆。
第二集聚焦于盖茨在尼日利亚消除小儿麻痹症和推动小儿麻痹症疫苗接种的工作，同时也探讨了他的青春和友谊，例如与肯特-埃文斯（Kent Evans）和保罗-艾伦（Paul Allen，后来的微软联合创始人）的友谊。
第三集探讨了盖茨寻找气候变化解决方案的过程。其中包括比尔-盖茨创办的核反应堆设计公司TerraPower正在研发的新型核动力反应堆。除了探讨比尔与梅琳达-盖茨的关系和婚姻，第三集还利用审判的原始镜头，详细介绍了他与同为亿万富翁的沃伦-巴菲特的友谊以及1998-2001年的反垄断法案件。在这场审判中，美国政府指控微软非法维持其在PC市场的垄断地位（见美国诉微软公司）。
反垄断法案审判
这部纪录片 "在[盖茨]故事书中的中上层阶级童年、创建微软公司和他目前作为世界第二富豪的地位之间切换"。
这部纪录片主要是在前所未有的深度让我们了解了比尔·盖茨，他的乐观、好奇心和热情曾激发他对微软的初始愿景，现在也激励他为世界上一些最复杂的问题寻求解决方案。
但，正如一千个人眼中，有一千个哈姆雷特。
我在这个纪录片里的细枝末节里更看到了比尔母亲（玛丽盖茨）在他的成功路上起到的重要作用和“家庭教育”的重要性。
比尔和母亲玛丽
首先从纪录片中，导演对比尔的提问：你生命中最糟糕的一天是哪一天？
比尔（表情凝重）：我妈过世那天。
可见母亲在比尔盖茨心中是如此的重要。可是现实是在比尔12岁的时候，跟母亲关系极度紧张，甚至进行了家庭心理咨询。而当时比尔本人更是个不懂社交，沟通，反叛的”书呆子“
究竟比尔的母亲是如何成功的让生性内向不善言辞的比尔，从自己封闭的世界走出来，并在人生和职业道路上给予指导，助力盖茨成为首富的呢？
首先让我们从玛丽盖茨本人讲起。
