----------Whether you like Bill Gates or
not...this is pretty
cool. Here's some advice Bill Gates recently dished out
at a high school speech about 11 things they did
not
learn in school. He talks about how
feel-good,
politically correct teaching has created a
full
generation of kids with no concept of reality and
how
this concept sets them up for failure in the
real
world.
RULE 1
Life is not fair - get used to it.
RULE 2
The world won't care about your self-esteem. The
world
will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE
you feel
good about yourself.
RULE 3
You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year
right out
of high school. You won't be a vice president with
car phone, until you earn both.
RULE 4
If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you
get a
boss. He doesn't have tenure.
RULE 5
Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your
grandparents had a different word for burger flipping
they
called it Opportunity.
RULE 6
If you mess up,it's not your parents' fault, so
don't
whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
RULE 7
Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as
they are now. They got that way from paying your
bills,
cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk
about
how cool you are. So before you save the rain
forest
from the parasites of your parent's generation, try
delousing the closet in your own room.
RULE 8
Your school may have done away with winners and
losers,
but life has not. In some schools they have
abolished
failing grades and they'll give you as many times
as
you want to get the right answer. This doesn't
bear the
slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
RULE 9
Life is not divided into semesters. You don't
get
summers off and very few employers are interested in
helping you find yourself. Do that on your own
time.
RULE 10
Television is NOT real life. In real life people
actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to
jobs.
RULE 11
Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up
working for
one. |
