The Wisdom of Bill Gates
1. Life is not fair.....get used to it!
2. The world doesn't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
3. If you think your professor is tough, wait until you get a boss.
4. If you mess up, it's not your parent's fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
5. School may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished 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.
6. 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.
7. Television is NOT real life. In real life, people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to work.
8. Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
