Bill Gates' Speech at a High School about:
eleven (11) things they did not and will not learn in schools. 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.. | q********n

The Truth about these rules claimed to be authored by Bill Gates:
This is not from Bill Gates. It's an excerpt from the book "Dumbing Down
our Kids" by educator Charles Sykes. It is a list of eleven things you did
not learn in school and directed at high school and college grads.
Someone even changed the dollar amount from 40k to 60k in order to take into
account of inflation. LOL.
But do NOT dumb down ourselves by believing quotes from so-called
celebrities! | u*****a
发帖数: 6276 | 7 This list is the work of Charles J. Sykes, author of the 1996 book Dumbing
Down Our Kids: Why American Children Feel Good About Themselves But Can't
Read, Write, Or Add. (Sykes' list was published in numerous newspapers,
although it did not appear in his 1996 book. It did, however, form the meat
of Sykes' 2007 book, 50 Rules Kids Won't Learn in School: Real-World
Antidotes to Feel-Good Education.) Many versions omit the last three rules:
Rule No. 12: Smoking does not make you look cool. It makes you look
moronic. Next time you're out cruising, watch an 11-year-old with a butt in
his mouth. That's what you look like to anyone over 20. Ditto for "
expressing yourself" with purple hair and/or pierced body parts.
Rule No. 13: You are not immortal. (See Rule No. 12.) If you are under
the impression that living fast, dying young and leaving a beautiful corpse
is romantic, you obviously haven't seen one of your peers at room
temperature lately.
Rule No. 14: Enjoy this while you can. Sure parents are a pain, school's
a bother, and life is depressing. But someday you'll realize how wonderful
it was to be a kid. Maybe you should start now. You're welcome.
Advice columnist Ann Landers printed the first ten items (uncredited)
several times, and this list was also used by radio commentator Paul Harvey.
The prize for misattribution, however, has to go to the Atlanta Journal and
Constitution, which published the list twice in the space of three weeks in
mid-2000, the first time crediting it to "Duluth state Rep. Brooks Coleman
of Duluth," and the second time to Bill Gates.

At a time when inequality is becoming one of the central issues of our time,
the Gateses, whose foundation has become one of the most formidable
philanthropic enterprises in history, exhorted graduates to pursue a mission
-driven life. While both speakers were inspiring, it was Melinda Gates who
delivered the most stirring lines. Here’s she is on channeling optimism:
1) Optimism for me isn’t a passive expectation that things will get better;
it’s a conviction that we can make things better—that whatever suffering
we see, no matter how bad it is, we can help people if we don’t lose hope
and we don’t look away.
2) Let your heart break. It will change what you do with your optimism.
3) Bill worked incredibly hard and took risks and made sacrifices for
success. But there is another essential ingredient of success, and that
ingredient is luck—absolute and total luck.
When were you born? Who were your parents? Where did you grow up? None of us
earned these things. They were given to us.
When we strip away our luck and privilege and consider where we’d be
without them, it becomes easier to see someone who’s poor and sick and say
“that could be me.” This is empathy; it tears down barriers and opens up
new frontiers for optimism.
So here is our appeal to you: As you leave Stanford, take your genius and
your optimism and your empathy and go change the world in ways that will
make millions of others optimistic as well. |
