Bill Gate's 11 Rules

Can't sleep, have nothing better to do. Found this piece of paper resting on my table, for a few months now. It was relocated time and again when i switched on my fan or if i had to note a phone number on it or when i tried to pull something off from underneath it.
I am too full to retain it, too indolent to get up extend an arm and throw it, and thought it was good enough to put it here on the web and then could carelessly leave it on the floor just to get broomed away without giving me much workout. Leastwise it would be here till the end of time, (is what I wish to think cz other than nature its only going to be computers that would end our time). So basically, I could have this as a reference for my life.

This is an extract from one of Bill Gate's speeches and we'd cal it rules that you will never be taught at school.

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 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with car phone, until you earn both.
4. If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.
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. 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 are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
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.
9. Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested helping you finds yourself. Do that on your own time.
10. Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
11. Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
