| 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 were. 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. |
 |
If
you agree, pass it on.
If you can read this -
Thank a teacher!
If
you can read this in English
- Thank a soldier!! |
Love
him or hate him, he
sure hits the nail on
the head with this!
