Bill Gates used Twitter on Monday morning to offer some words of wisdom to the class of 2017.

He also urged his followers to continue to strive for self-improvement.
And despite being the world's richest man — his net worth is over $85 billion — Gates says that's not what brings him joy.

He finished his impromptu address with a few encouraging words for graduates.
