Wise Words From The World's Richest Man To Students by Artorius(m): 3:51pm On Oct 21, 2013
Bill Gates gave a Commencement 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 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 can read this - Thank a teacher!
