I removed all the extra 'stuff'. It should be easier to read now.



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 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.

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 agree, pass it on...

If you don't agree stick your head in the sand and take a deep breath!

If you can read this -Thank a teacher!

If you can read this in English thank a soldier!!!
