빌게이츠가 마운틴휘트니고등학교에서
학생들에게 해준 인생충고 10가지
1.인생이란 원래 공평하지 못하다.
.....그런 현실에 대하여 불평할 생각하지 말고 받아들여라..
2.세상은 네 자신이 어떻게 생각하든 상관하지 않는다.
....세상이 너희들한테 기대하는 것은 네가 스스로 만족하다고
느끼기 전에 무엇인가를 성취해서 보여줄 것을 기다리고 있다.
3.대학교육을 받지 않는 상태에서
...연봉 4만 달러가 될 것이라고는 상상도 하지 말라.
4.학교 선생님이 까다롭다고 생각되거든
...사회나와서 직장 상사의 진짜 까다로운 맛을 한번 느껴봐라.
5.햄버거가게에서 일하는 것을 수치스럽게 생각하지마라.
....너희 할아버지는 그 일을 기회라고 생각하였다.
6.네 인생을 네가 망치고 있으면서 부모 탓을 하지마라
.....불평만 일삼을 것이 아니라 잘못한 것에서 교훈을 얻어라
7.학교는 승자나 패자를 뚜렷이 가리지 않을 지 모른다.
....그러나 사회 현실은 이와 다르다는 것을 명심해라
8.인생은 학기처럼 구분되어 있지도 않고
..여름 방학이라는 것은 아예 있지도 않다.
.네가 스스로 알아서 하지 않으면 지장에서는 가르쳐주지 않는다.
9.TV는 현실이 아니다.
...현실에서는 커피를 마셨으면 일을 시작하는 것이 옳다.
10.공부밖에 할줄 모르는 "바보"한테 잘보여라
...사회나온다음에는 아마 "그 바보"밑에서 일하게 될지도 모른다.
----------Whether you like Bill Gates or not...this is pretty
cool. Here's some advice Bill Gates recently dished out
at a high school speech about 11 things they did not
learn in school. He talks about how feel-good,
politically correct teaching has created a full
generation of kids with no concept of reality and how
this concept sets them up for failure in the real
world.
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 40 thousand dollars a year right out
of high school. You won't be a vice president with
car phone, until you earn both.
RULE 4
If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a
boss. He doesn't have tenure.
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 are. 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.
