Bill Gates, love him or hate him, he
sure hits the nail on the head with
this!
Bill Gates recently gave
a speech at a High School about 11
things they did not and will not learn
in school. He talks about how feel-good,
politically correct teachings created a
generation of kids with no concept of
reality and how this concept set 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
$60,000 a year right out of high school.
You won't be a vice-president with a
car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is
tough, wait till you get a boss.
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
thought you were. 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.
