Bill Gates, one of the most inspiring role models in the modern era needs no recognition. His wisdom and experience have changed the lives of many all around the world.
Bill Gates admits he was never extraordinary at studies and was a last-minute guy when it came to handing things in at school. This article is inspired by an article at Addicted2Success.
Bill Gates’s 11 Tips For Success You Will Not Learn In School:
1: Life is not always fair. You’ve got to quickly get used to it.
2: The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.
3: You will NOT make great money in a year right out of high school. Stop dreaming about that.
4: You think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping and that was an opportunity.
6: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t brag about your mistakes – learn from them.
7: Learn to say No. You’ve got to learn to say NO and avoid meaningless activities and engagements.
8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not.
9: Life is not divided into terms. You don’t get summers off, and very few employers are interested in helping you “find yourself”. Do that in your own time.
10: TV is not real life. In real life, people have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one!
