11 RULES FROM BILL GATES.

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 parent's 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

now are. 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 your parent's

generation created, 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 does not 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.

>Teehee! I'm proud for all the times you guys called me a nerd.
"I'll have a cafe latte from Starbucks now and a cappucino later. That's all." *waves hand ala Miranda Priestly*

I shudder to think of the alternative:
"Would you like fries with that?"

On that frightful note, it's back to the books for me. Will blog REAL SOON!

REALLY!! Don't give my that exasperated face! =p
