Bill Gates' advice

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 doesn'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.


If you agree, pass it on...

If you don't agree stick your head in the sand and take a deep breath!
