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 feelgood, 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.   
在比爾·蓋茨寫給高中畢業生和大學畢業生的書裏,有一個單子上面列有11項學生沒能在學校裏學到的事情。比爾·蓋茨在書中談到讓你感覺良好的"政治上正確"的教導培養出一整代不知現實爲何物的年輕人,這種教育只能導致他們成爲現實世界中的失敗者。   
The 11 things are:   這11項事情是:


1. Life is not fair, get used to it.

1. 生活是不公平的;要去適應它。

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.這世界並不會在意你的自尊。這世界指望你在自我感覺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. You won"t be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.

3.高中剛畢業你不會一年掙4萬美元。你不會成爲一個公司的副總裁,並擁有一部裝有電話的汽車,直到你將此職位和汽車電話都掙到手。


4. If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn"t have tenure.

4.如果你認爲你的老師嚴厲,等你有了老闆再這樣想。老闆可是沒有任期限制的。

5. Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.

5.烙牛肉餅並不有損你的尊嚴。你的祖父母對烙牛肉餅可有不同的定義;他們稱它爲機遇。

6. If you mess up, it"s not your parents" fault, so don"t whine about our mistakes, learn from them.

6.如果你陷入困境,那不是你父母的過錯,所以不要尖聲抱怨我們的錯誤,要從中吸取教訓。
