A lecture given by Bill Gates, one of the world's richest men and the founder of Microsoft, entitled:
10 rules you are not taught at school::
Rule 1
Life is not fair; get used to it!
Rule 2
The world does not care about your self-esteem; it is waiting only for your achievements, even before you congratulate yourself!
Rule 3
You will not earn $60,000 a year simply because you graduated from university!
Rule
If you think your teacher is tough on you, remember that an employer is waiting for you!
Rule 5
Working in a restaurant does not lower your worth; your grandparents saw it differently - they called it an opportunity!
Rule 6
If you make a mistake, it is not your parents' fault. Stop blaming others and learn from your mistakes!
Rule 7
Before you were born, your parents were not as dull as they are now. They became that way because they:
* paid for what you needed
* washed your clothes
* and taught you!
Rule 8
Before you save the rainforests, start by tidying your own room and everything around you!
Rule 9
Life is not divided into terms..... and summer is not a holiday
and few employers are willing to help you: it is your responsibility!
Rule 10
Television is not real life
In real life, people leave the coffee shop and go to work....
