every school !!!
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 rules 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.
