~ Bill Gates ~
This should be posted in every school or kid's bedroom.
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
eleven (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!
規則 1：生活是不公平的 - 你要去適應它！
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.
規則 2: 世界不會在意你的自尊。
這世界指望你在你之前先要有所成就自我感覺良好。
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.
規則 3：從高中畢業， 你賺不到6萬美元的年薪。 你不會成為一個有車載電話的副總統，直到你將此職位掙到手。
Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss
規則 4：如果你認為你的老師嚴厲，等你有了老闆再下結論吧。
Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity.
Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping:
They called it opportunity.
規則5：烙牛肉餅並不有損你的尊嚴。 你的祖父母對賣漢堡包有著不同的字。他們稱它為機遇。
Rule 6 : If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault,
so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
規則 6：如果你陷入困境，那不是你父母的過錯，所以不要抱怨你的錯誤並且要從中汲取教訓。
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.
規則 7：在你出生之前，你的父母並不像現在這樣乏味。 他們變成現在的模樣是為了要能幫你付賬單，清洗你的衣服，聽你大談如何的酷你以為你是。 所以在你從父母的寄生蟲轉變去拯救雨林的英雄之前，先整理衣櫥裡在自己的房間。
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.
規則 8：你的學校也許已經不再優等生和劣等生，但生活並不如此。 在一些學校，已經廢除不及格分，他們就會給你無數次你想找到正確的答案。
這可是一點都不像在現實生活中的情形。
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.
規則 9：生活不分學期。
你並沒有暑假可以休息，也沒有幾位雇主有興趣協助你找到自己。 要花自己的時間去"發掘"自己。
Rule 10 : Television is NOT real life.
In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
第10條：電視並不是真實的生活。在現實生活中，人們實際上得離開咖啡屋去幹自己的工作。
Rule 11 : Be nice to nerds.
Chances are you'll end up working for one.
第11條：善待乏味討厭的人。 那個人將來可能是你的老闆之一！
