Message: <blockquote data-quote="BlackNight" data-source="post: 292433" data-attributes="member: 3936">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. Love him or hate him, he sure hit the nail on the head with this. Rule 1Life is not fair – get used to it! Rule 2The world won't care about your self esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself Rule 3You 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 4If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss Rule 5Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping-they called it opportunity Rule 6If you mess up, it's not your parents fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them Rule 7Before 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 your parent's generation created, try delousing the closet in your own room Rule 8Your 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 does not bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life Rule 9Life 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 10Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs Rule 11Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one If you agree, pass it onIf you can read this –thank a teacherIf you're not in jail or on the streets –thank your parents</blockquote>
