Subject: Bill Gates Speech at a High School..









Here is some advice Bill Gates gave some high school graduates and

love him or hate him; he hits the nail on the head with this!



The World's Richest Man, Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High

School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talked

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. Here is what he said...



Bill Gates' High School Address



Rule 1: Life is not fair -- get used to it!



Rule 2: The world will not really 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 will not be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.



Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait until 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 is not your parents' fault, so do not

whine about your mistakes, learn from them.



Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents were not 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 rain forest from the parasites of your parent's

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 will 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 do not 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 will end up working for one.



> > If you agree, pass it on.



> > If you can read this - thank a teacher!



> > If you are reading it in English - thank a soldier!



> > If you live in America, thank GOD."

If someone finds out he is a genius, why can't he tell people without receiving insults?
If a genius is aware of his capabilities, should he shut up and not let society he is there?
Should he shut up so people don't trucidate him with indirect jealousy?

I teach English in rural Japan. I'm often asked to pick one aspect of British culture to teach them. It's so difficult to define British culture, and yet it's so difficult to explain multiculturalism to Japanese kids and adults!! What positive stuff would you teach and how?

well i am a little bit. when i'm in class and whenever we have a class presentation, i get a little nervous at first, but when i begin speaking, i'm not nervous at all. why do we fear it? when someone gets nervous, they speak too fast, too low, stare at the ground instead of the people, can't keep still, fidgit, can't make eye contact with audience, and embarrass themselves sometimes.

I need a word that means sort of the same thing as being torn between two extremes or two things. Here's why...

I have a sentence...

Asher imagines the pain she must have felt being pulled between two extremes.

If there is a way anyone knows of that I can shorten that sentence, while still saying the same thing, please help me!
