Bill Gates - Recent High School Speech
The Truth
I originally posted this speech as being given by Bill Gates. But after the error was brought to my attention, I felt that it was such good advice that I still wanted to include it, with proper credit given!
It was actually taken from the book "Dumbing Down our Kids" by educator Charles J. Sykes.
Eleven things they did not teach and you will not learn in school
![]()
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2: The world won'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.

It takes less than a minute (about 15 seconds) to click on the button above to go to go to The Animal Rescue Site and click on their "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button. Each click on the purple button on their site provides food and care for a rescued animal living in a shelter or sanctuary.
This doesn't cost you a thing. Funding for food and care is paid by sponsors / advertisers and distributed to animals in need. They use the number of daily "button clicks" to determine the amount of food to donate. Please tell others!
The Patriotic American Red, White & Blue Christian Soldiers Cross was created as a non-denominational religious symbol to show to Honor our Military Members / Veterans and to show that "We are Proud to be Americans crusading in the Army of Soldiers for Christ!" Q&A's
