Bill Gates' High School Speech on The Eleven Rules of Life

----------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.

比爾蓋茲的十一項人生建議

比爾蓋茲在某個大學畢業典禮上的演講中，對畢業生提出十一項極為睿智的人生建議與畢業同學共勉之：

1.人生是不公平的，習慣接受吧。
2.這個世界並不在乎你的自尊，
只在乎你做出來的成績，然後再去強調你的感受。
3.你不會一離開學校就有百萬年薪、
你不會馬上就是擁有公司配屬手機的副總裁，
二者你都必須靠努力賺來。
4.如果你覺得你的老闆很兇，等你做了老闆就知道，
老闆是沒有工作任期保障的。
5.在速食店打工並不? i恥，你的祖父母對煎漢堡有不同的看法：機會。
6.如果你一事無成， 不是你父母的錯，所以不要對自己犯的錯發牢騷，從錯誤中去學習。
7.在你出生前，你的父母並不像現在這般無趣，
他們變成這樣是因為忙著付你的開銷、洗你的衣服、
聽你吹噓你有多了不起。
所以在你拯救被父母這代人破壞的熱帶雨林前 先整理一下自己的房間吧。
8.在學校裡可能有贏家輸家，在人生中卻還言之過早。
學校會不斷給你機會找到正確答案,真實人生中卻完全不是這麼回事。
9.人生沒有寒暑假,人生不是學期制，沒有哪個雇主有興趣幫你尋找自我，請用自己的時間來做這件事吧。
10.電視上演的並非真實人生。現實生活中每人都要離開咖啡館去工作。
11.對書呆子好一點，你未來很可能就為其中一個工作。

The Truth
This is not from Bill Gates.  It's an excerpt from the book "Dumbing Down our Kids" by educator Charles Sykes.  It is a list of eleven things you did not learn in school and directed at high school and college grads.
