Bill Gates is the most well-known person with his great achievement in technology. Since he has been getting successful with his career through limited education in which he gave up his study in the middle way of Bachelor Degree at Harvard University for making his dream come true. He revealed 11 special rules based on his own experience to us.
Those 11 rules of William H. Gates (Bill Gates) are as the following:
- Life is not fair - get used to it!
- The world doesn't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
- 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.
- If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
- Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different world for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.
- If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
- 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 your talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
- 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 doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
- 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.
- Television is NOT real life. In real life, people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
- Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one!
