Rules from Bill Gates
To anyone with kids of any age, here's some advice.
Bill Gates recently gave
a speech at a High School about 11
things they did not and will not learn
in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically- correct teachings
created a generation of kids with no
concept of reality and how this
concept set them up for failure in the
real world.
Love him or hate him, he
sure hit the nail on the head with
this.
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used toit.
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 $60,000 a
year right out of high school. You
won't be a vice-president with a carphone 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
parent's 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 now
are. 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 rain forest from the
parasites your parent's generation
created, 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. This does not
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 jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are
you'll end up working for one.
If you agree, pass it on. If you can
read this - thank a teacher. IF you're
not in jail or on the street - thank
your parents.
Nice rules, Bill Gates.
Never feel better.

Just watched -
Pirates of the Caribbean:The Curse of the Black Pearl.
Had a good laugh.
Jack Sparrow.
Captain Jack Sparrow.
Johnny Depp.
He was damn good!
Now I feel like buying ALL the 3 movies.
That is, after the 3rd movie is out on dvds.
Haha.
Sad to say,
I havent watched the 3rd movie.
Shall put my fav guys here...
Captain Jack Sparrow - Look at how he portrays himself out. So full of confidence. He seems to be unbeatable.
As for this, extracted from The Curse of the Black Pearl, cant remember wad was he doin'. This is a smart face. I juz go gaga over smart, wise man. But besides the looks, he was reali good. His acting has quality, yeah?
Orlando Bloom. Innocent, honest and of course, georgeous guy. Wad makes him attractive, to me, is his goatie. It's nicely cut. Very neat.
Boldness. Will do anything to save his loved ones. This is the quality guys shud have. It juz make the gals feel more secured and haiz.. loved.
This is wad we call - full of conviction and determination. It means dat he knows wad he wants and is very driven towards his goal. To put it in one word - stability. Another thing that gals will definitely look for.Wad am I blabbering about?
The type of guys I wish to have.
