THIS SHOULD BE POSTED IN ALL SCHOOLS AND WORK PLACES

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 things they did not learn in school. He talked 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 start feeling 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 appear to be 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 parents' 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 chances 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'e 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!


CIRCULATE THIS AMONG YOUR CHILDREN AND YOUR GRANDCHILDREN.
