There are several versions of this on the web. http://www.snopes.com/ will tell you that Bill Gates is not the author of these rules. However, once that he personally heard Bill Gates deliver these on television.
Anyway, here you go.
Bill Gates rules for life-
>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 $50,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with a car and phone, until you earn all three.
>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 are
>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 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 work.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
