Bill Gates said at a high school.

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about
11 things they did not and will not learn in school.

      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.
