11 things you will not learn in school accdg to BILL GATES> must read
Reblogged from tinapa
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!
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. Keep yourself clean.
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.
If you can read this in English…. Thank a Soldier!
And for life and everything else you have…. Thank Your Parents!!
Now… think about this and smile if you agree and please pass this
on…
If you don’t agree, go stick your head in the sand and take a deep
breath!
