Bill Gates speech: 11 rules your kids did not and will not learn in school (ZT)
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. 回复 1# 明月清风
听这口气也挺 "虎爸"的。呵呵，打算学会了第７条对付儿子去。{:5_340:} {:5_394:}看过中文译板，重温下英语！{:5_331:} 其实GATES说的句句都是现实. 做父母的真的不容易, 一方面不忍心让孩子们过早的认识成人的残酷世界, 另一方面又担心为他们的未来准备不足. Flipping burgers 这个指什么？ 本帖最后由 明月清风 于 2011-3-4 20:58 编辑

指''做挣很少钱的工作''. 这比爾蓋茨也太狠了。生活是不公平的 - 你要去適應它！这句话该什麽时候和孩子讲呀，是上小学时还是中学时? 本帖最后由 trees 于 2011-3-8 19:20 编辑
Rule 1: Life is not fair – get used to it!. 我一直对我姑娘说这句，人分等级，生活没有公平。 {:5_394:}
