>> 
>> Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the
>> head with this! 
>> To anyone with kids of any age, here's some advice.
>> 
>> 
>> 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 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.
