If you Mess up - It's Not your Parents Fault. " - Bill Gates

" If you Mess up - It's Not your Parents Fault. "
- Bill Gates.

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 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 u ntil 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 agree, pass it on.
 if you don't agree stick your head in the sand and take a deep breath!

 If you can read this - Thank your teachers,not necessary those at school!
