Bill Gates 9 Rules for Life

These rules were first told to a high school assembly and reported in "Anchor Watch", Sept.2005

There is so much truth in here, every student, perhaps every person should read and heed these.

1) Life is not fair---get used to it.

2) The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.

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.

4) If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

5) Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping---they called it opportunity.

6) If you mess up, it's not your parents fault; so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

7) Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they will 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.

8) Television is not real life. in real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

9) Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

So there you have it...i think I'll vote for #7 as my fav.
What about you?
