Some of you may have already heard about, read or seen these.
For those who have not, I thought you might find these so-called rules
interesting to know.
Now first things first though, urbanlegends.com had pointed
out these rules had been falsely attributed to Bill Gates. That being said,
Bill Gates penned or not, I still am sharing the rules here as they, in my
opinion, carry a lot of weight. I just hope the real author is properly acknowledged sooner rather than later.
11 Rules Your Kids Did Not And Will Not Learn In School
Rule 1: Life is not fair – get used to it.
Rule 2: The world doesn’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 $60,000 a year right out of high
school. You won’t be a vice president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you
get a boss.
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 thought you were. So
before you save the rainforest from the parasites of your parents’ 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. That
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 in 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.
