Bill Gates 給年輕人的11個人生建議 !!
比爾蓋茲在一個畢業典禮上給了畢業生11個人生的建議,也許對於我們仍有啟發性
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it
1. 人生是不公平的,習慣去接受它吧。
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.
2. 這個世界不會在乎你的自尊,這個世界期望你先做出成績,再去強調自己的感受。
Rule 3: You will NOT make $40,000 a year right out of high school. You won't
be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
3. 你不會一離開學校就有百萬年薪,你不會馬上就是擁有自己辦公室的副總裁,二者你都必須靠努力賺來。
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
4. 如果你覺得你的老闆很兇,等你當了老闆就知道了,老闆是沒有工作任期保障的。
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had
a different word for burger flipping-they called it opportunity.
5. 在速食店煎漢堡並不是作賤自己,你的祖父母對煎漢堡有完全不同的定義:機會!
Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about
your mistakes, learn from them.
6. 如果你一事無成,不是你父母的錯,所以不要只會對自己犯的錯發牢騷,從錯誤中去學習。
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 are. So before you save the
rainforest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try delousing the
closet in your own room.
7. 在你出生前,你的父母並不像現在這般無趣,他們變成這樣是因為忙著付你的開銷,洗你的衣服,聽你吹噓自己有多了不起。所以在你拯救被父母這代人破壞的熱帶雨林前,先整理一下自己的房間吧。
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.
8. 在學校裡可能有贏家和輸家,在人生中卻還言之過早。學校可能會不斷給你機會找到正確答案,真實人生中卻完全不是這麼回事。
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.
9. 人生不是學期制,人生沒有寒暑假,沒有哪個雇主有興趣協助你找尋自我,請用自己的空暇做這件事吧。
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to
leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
10. 電視上演得並不是真實的人生。真實人生中每個人都要離開咖啡廳去上班。
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
11. 對書呆子好一點,你未來很可能就為其中一個工作。 |
