比爾·蓋茨寫給青年人的十一點(diǎn)忠告 Bill Gates’ 11 Rules for Real Life

　　生活是不公平的，要去適應(yīng)它。

　　2.The world won't care about your self-esteem.The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.

　　這個(gè)世界并不會(huì)在意你的自尊。這世界指望你在自我感覺良好之前先要有所成就。

　　3. You will not make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school.You won't be a vice president with a car phone,until you earn both.

　　高中剛畢業(yè)你不會(huì)一年掙4萬美元。你不會(huì)成為一個(gè)公司的副總裁，并擁有一部裝有電話的汽車，直到你將此職位和汽車電話都爭(zhēng)到手。

　　4. If you think your teacher is tough,wait till you get a boss.He doesn't have tenure.

　　如果你認(rèn)為你的老師嚴(yán)厲，等你有了老板再這樣想。老板可是沒有任期限制的。

　　5. Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity.Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping;they called it opportunity.

　　烙牛肉餅并不有損你的尊嚴(yán)。你的祖父母對(duì)烙牛肉餅可有不同的定義;他們稱它為機(jī)遇。

　　6. If you mess up,it's not your parent's fault,so don't whine about our mistakes,learn from them.

　　如果你陷入困境，那不是你父母的過錯(cuò)，所以不要尖叫抱怨我們的錯(cuò)誤，要從中吸取教訓(xùn)。

　　7. Before you were born,your parents were as boring as them are now.They got that.

　　在你出生之前，你的父母并不像他們現(xiàn)在這樣乏味。他們變成今天這個(gè)樣子是因?yàn)檫@些年來他們 一直為你付帳單，給你洗衣服，聽你大談你是如何的酷。所以，如果你想消滅你父母那一輩中的 “寄生蟲”來拯救雨林的話，還是先去消除你房間衣柜里的蟲子吧!

　　8. Your school may have done away with winners and lisers,but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades;they'll give you as many times as your want to got the right answer.This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life.

　　你的學(xué)校也許已經(jīng)不再分優(yōu)等生和劣等生，但生活卻仍在做出類似的區(qū)分。在某些已經(jīng)廢除不及格分;只要你想找到正確答案，學(xué)校就給你無數(shù)機(jī)會(huì)。這和生活中任何事情沒有一點(diǎn)相似之處。

　　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 on time.

　　生活不分學(xué)期。你并沒有暑假可以休息，也沒有幾位雇主樂于幫你發(fā)現(xiàn)自我。自己找時(shí)間做吧。

　　10. Television is not real life.In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

　　電視并不是真實(shí)的生活。在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中，人們實(shí)際上得離開咖啡屋去干自己的工作。

　　11. Be nice to nerds.Chances are you'll end up working for one.

　　善待乏味的人。有可能到頭來你會(huì)為一個(gè)乏味的人工作。
