比尔·盖茨的忠告
In Bill Gates‘ Book for high school and college graduates, there is a list of 11 things they did not learn in school. In his book, Bill Gates talks about how feelgood, politically-correct teachings created a full generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this education set them up for failure in the real world.
The 11 things are:
1、人生是不公平的，习惯去接受它吧！
1. Life is not fair, get used to it.
2、这个世界不会在乎你的自尊，而是期望你先做出成绩，（有了成绩）再去强调自己的感觉。
2. The world won‘t care about your selfesteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.
3、你不会一离开学校就有百万年薪，你不会马上就是可以发号施令的副总裁，这两者你都必须经过努力得来。
3. You will not make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won‘t be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.
4、如果你觉得老师很凶，那么等你有了老板就知道了，老板是没有工作任期保障的。
4. If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn‘t have tenure.
5、在快餐店送汉堡包并不是作践自己，你的祖父对此有另外的解释：机会。
5. Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.
6、如果你一事无成，不是你父母的错。所以不要怨人尤天，要学会从错误中学习。
6. If you mess up, it‘s not your parents‘ fault, so don‘t whine about our mistakes, learn from them.
7、在你出生之前，父母并不是象现在这般无趣，他们变成这样子，是因为忙着支付你的开销，为你洗衣服，听你自吹自擂。所以，拯救被你父辈破坏的热带雨林之前，先整理好自己的房间。
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 are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents‘ generation, try "delousing" the closet in your own room.
8、学校里成绩的好坏，对人生来说还言之过早。
8. Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; 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.
9、人生不是学期制，人生没有寒暑假。没有哪个雇主有兴趣帮你寻找自我，请用自己的闲暇来做这件事吧。
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.
10、电视里演的并不是真实的人生，真实的人生中，每个人都要离开咖啡厅去上班。
10. Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
11、对书呆子好一点，因为你未来很可能就为他们中的一个工作。
11. Be nice to nerds. Chances are you‘ll end up working for one.
