Bill Gates Speech. Give It To Your Kids by sambiyi(m): 12:56pm On Sep 16, 2014
GIVE IT TO YOUR KIDS !!! Read and Share
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.
