Bill Gates, Microsoft's president, gave the following 11 tips to the young generation that is about to leave the school and step into the society:
1. Life is unfair. You have to adapt.
2. This world does not care about your self-esteem, but asks you to achieve something before you feel good about yourself.
3. It is impossible to earn $60 thousand a month when you leave school, or become vice president of the company, own a car until the day you earn your hand.
4. If you think that the teachers in the school are too strict, think about it when you have a boss.
5. selling hamburgers will not impair your dignity. Your grandparents have different understandings of selling hamburgers and call it an "opportunity 」.
6. If you are in trouble, it is not your parents's fault. Do not pass the responsibilities you should take on others, but learn from them.
7. Before you were born, your parents were not as boring as they are now. This is because they have been washing clothes and paying bills for you over the years. So, before chatting with your parents, clean your room.
8. Your school may not be superior or inferior, but your life is not. Some schools do not have the "fail" concept. They will give you continuous opportunities to make your progress, but this is not the case in real life.
9. My life after I leave school is not divided into semesters or summer vacations. Few bosses are willing to help you discover yourself. You must do it on your own.
10. Many TV scenes are never real life. In real life, people must work hard to do their jobs, instead of soaking in coffee shops every day like on TV.
11. Treat people you hate, because one day you may work for such people.
