You want fries with that?

This was originally put out over the internet as being said by Bill Gates, however; it came from a book called. Dumbing down our kids by Charles Sykes... its about how feel-good politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world... That said... my take was... I thought it just was typical teenager thoughts they don't always live in the real world.<Teenagers that is>

:-)  I know this because I raised one and I was one..

even though it was a long time since my teenage years I still remember my smart backtalking mouth getting me in to trouble  Ha!!...Thought I knew it all now I'm old enought to know........ I know nothing....Nevertheless; I thought it was funny and to the point

 

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 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.

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

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 are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' 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; 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.

I especially like Rule 11

Should of been nicer to the nerds:-)
