Bill Gates baru-baru ini memberi ceramah di Sekolah Menengah perihal 11 hal-hal yang mereka tidak akan pelajari di sekolah. Dia berbicara tentang bagaimana perasaan serta ajaran yang menciptakan generasi anak-anak tanpa konsep yang jelas dan bagaimana konsep ini mengatur kegagalan dalam dunia nyata.
Aturan 1: Hidup ini tidak adil - hadapilah itu!
Aturan 2: Dunia tidak akan peduli tentang harga diri Anda. Dunia akan mengharapkan Anda untuk menyelesaikan sesuatu SEBELUM anda merasa baik tentang diri Anda sendiri.
Aturan 3: Anda TIDAK akan menghasilkan $ 60.000 setahun keluar dari Sekolah Menengah. Anda tidak akan menjadi wakil direktur dengan telepon mobil sampai Anda berhak untuk itu.
Aturan 4: Jika Anda merasa guru Anda sangat sulit, tunggu sampai Anda mendapatkan bos.
Aturan 5: Pekerjaan membalikkan burger tidak menurunkan martabat Anda. Kakek dan nenek Anda memiliki kata yang berbeda untuk pekerjaan itu - mereka menyebutnya kesempatan.
Aturan 6: Jika Anda kacau, itu bukan kesalahan orangtua, jadi jangan mengeluh karenanya, belajarlah dari mereka.
Aturan 7: Sebelum kamu lahir, orang tua Anda tidak membosankan seperti sekarang. Mereka mendapatkan itu agar dapat membayar biaya hidup Anda, membersihkan pakaian dan mendengarkan Anda berbicara tentang bagaimana kerennya Anda. Jadi, sebelum berpikir untuk melenyapkan parasit dari generasi orangtua Anda, cobalah tengok lemari di kamar Anda sendiri.
Aturan 8: Sekolah Anda mungkin tidak menghasilkan para pemenang dan pecundang, tapi hidup ini TIDAK. Di beberapa sekolah telah menghapuskan nilai-nilai kegagalan dan mereka akan memberikan BANYAK KALI kesempatan yang Anda inginkan untuk mendapatkan jawaban yang tepat. Ini tidak mengandung sedikit kemiripan dengan APAPUN dalam kehidupan nyata.
Aturan 9: Hidup tidak dibagi dalam semester. Anda tidak mendapatkan libur musim panas dan sangat sedikit majikan tertarik dalam membantu Anda MENCARI DIRI SENDIRI. Lakukan itu oleh Anda secara mandiri.
Rule 10: Televisi adalah BUKAN kehidupan nyata. Dalam kehidupan nyata orang-orang harus meninggalkan warung kopi dan pergi ke pekerjaan mereka.
Peraturan 11:Bersikap baiklah pada orang yang gila kerja. Kemungkinan Anda akan berakhir bekerja untuk satu orang dari mereka.
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.
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 $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone 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 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 thought you are. 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'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.
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.
