Some home truths that Bill Gates reputedly threw at a bunch of American youths:
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: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss :)
Rule 4: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger-flipping; they called it opportunity.
Rule 5: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes…learn from them.
Rule 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 :)
Rule 7: Television is not real life. In real life, people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
* Know the rules before you bend it.
This is life, this is reality. I work hard; not only to build my work experience portfolio but also to earn a living in order to secure my future. However, yes…bearing in mind, that I also must enjoy my youth before it’s too late! :)
