Bill gates -11 rules for successful living

Bill gates, speaking to high school students, called the 11 rules that teenagers, according to him, would never learn in school:
1. Life is unfair — get used to this fact.
2. World is indifferent to your sense of self and self-esteem. The world expects from you any achievements, before taking into account your sense of self-worth.
3. It is very unlikely that you will start to pay 40 thousand a year right after high school. You will not become Vice-President of the company with a limousine and personal chauffeur, not until you deserve it.
4. If you think your teacher is strict and demanding — wait acquaintance with his boss. Unlike teachers, career boss depends on how you cope with their tasks.
5. Fry burgers at McDonald's — not below your dignity. Your grandparents would call any — even such work "good chance".
6. Do not rush to blame every failure of their parents. Not Noah and nosis with their failures, learn from them.
7. Before you were born your parents were not as boring and uninteresting people as they seem to you now. They have become so, earning your carefree childhood, erasing your clothes and listening to your endless chatter about how great you are. So, before you go to save the Amazon forest from destruction by greedy generation of your parents, try to start to tidy his room.
8. Your school canceled the division into winners and losers, life — no. Some schools have stopped to put bad marks and allowed any number of times to pass the test. It has no relation to what happens in real life.
9. Life is not divided into semesters, summer vacations in it does not exist, and very few employers are interested in helping you find your own "I". You'll have to do it on your own time.
10. Do not confuse real life with what you see on TV. In life people have most of the time not spend in the coffee shop, and in the workplace.
11. Support good relations with the "glasses-nerds". Most likely, one of them will someday become your boss.
