比尔盖茨道给美国高中生的11条生活真相
比尔.盖茨在美国某高中演讲时谈到现行教育体制下的学生对现实生活缺乏正确的认识，并由此导致他们将来在现实社会中四处碰壁。为此，比尔.盖茨道出了11条美国学生没有并且不会在学校学到的生活真相。 Rule 1:Life is not fair - get used to it! 生活是不公平的，要去适应它！
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. 这个世界并不会在意你的自尊，而是要求你在自我感觉良好之前先有所成就。
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. 刚从学校走出来时你不可能一个月挣6万美元，更不会成为哪家公司的副总裁，还拥有汽车，直到你将这些都挣到手的那一天。
Rule 4 :If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. 如果你认为学校里的老师过于严厉，那么等你有了老板再回头想一想。
Rule 5 :Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity. 卖汉堡包并不会有损你的尊严。你的祖父母对卖汉堡包有着不同的理解，他们称之为“机遇”。
Rule 6:If you mess up, it's not your parent's fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them. 如果你陷入困境，那不是你父母的过错，不要将你理应承担的责任转嫁给他人，而要学着从中吸取教训。
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. 在你出生之前，你的父母并不像现在这样生活乏味。他们变成今天这个样子是因为这些年来一直在为你付账单、给你洗衣服，并且听你表白你认为你是多么的特立独行。所以在你决定拯救你父母这一代人赖以生存的热带雨林之前，你首先应该把你自己房间衣橱里的虱子弄干净。
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. 你所在的学校也许已经不再分优等生和劣等生，但生活却并不如此。某些学校已经没有了“不及格”的概念，学校会不断地给你机会让你进步，然而现实生活完全不是这样。
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. 走出学校后的生活不像在学校一样有学期之分，也没有暑假之说。没有几位老板乐于帮你发现自我，你必须依靠自己去完成。
Rule 10:Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. 电视中的许多场景决不是真实的生活。在现实生活中，人们必须埋头做自己的工作，而非像电视里演的那样天天泡在咖啡馆里。
Rule 11:Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one. 善待你所厌恶的人，因为说不定哪一天你就会为这样的一个人工作。 打印出来。给孩子读，让他们知道父母的付出并不是无限制的。 说的很现实句句真理 很有感触，谢谢分享 真好，值得慢慢品尝和回味。 写得很好。 谢谢分享。 聪明人呀，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，， 生活本就是如此，棒！ 哪里有视频呀？很感兴趣。
说得很现实也很有用。 多谢分享~~~ :victory:感谢分享 谢谢分享，回家给闺女看看 唯有适应，才能生存 非常喜欢Bill Gates做人的格调。 万恶的资本家！把人当成任其剥削的奴隶！:@ 人必须面对现实，没能力改变社会之前必须适应它。 说的非常对。
