Bill?Gates?11?Rules?比尔.盖茨的11条准则In Bill Gates Book for high school and college graduates, there is a list of 11 things they did not learn in school. In his book, Bill Gates talks about how feel good, politically-correct teachings created a full generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this education set them up for failure in the real world. 　　在比尔·盖茨写给高中毕业生和大学毕业生的书里，有一个单子上面列有11项学生没能在学校里学到的事情。比尔·盖茨在书中谈到让你感觉良好的政治上正确的教导培养出一整代不知现实为何物的年轻人，这种教育只能导致他们成为现实世界中的失败者。 The 11 things are:这11项事情是： 1. Life is not fair, get used to it. 1． 生活是不公平的；要去适应它。 2. The world won’t care about your selfesteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself. 2．这世界并不会在意你的自尊。这世界指望你在自我感觉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.

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 are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents generation, try delousing the closet in your own room. 7．在你出生之前，你的父母并非像他们现在这样乏味。他们变成今天这个样子是因为这些年来他们一直在为你付账单，给你洗衣服，听你大谈你是如何的酷。所以，如果你想消灭你父母那一辈中的寄生虫来拯救雨林的话，还是先去清除你房间衣柜里的虫子吧。 8. Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they’ll give you as many times as you want to get
