Rules of life.. (In summary) by Bill Gates
Dear Guys,
You have read some postings on rules of life.
You might be interested to read alittle summary of it... by Bill Gates.
Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks 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.
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.
I hope you'll take away at least 1 rule from this posting and do better with your lives.. you can start with thanking your parents and starting a study group. ;p
Have a great weekend.

Welcome Back.. To A Fun & Eventful Semester 2!
Dear Guys,
Welcome back to school! I hope you've had a fun and relaxing holiday.
As I've mentioned this morning, we should all be ready to a fresh and brand new start, and be all energized to conquer the new term! Yes, you've heard me. Conquer for Excellence we must! As said this morning, I hope all of you will start forming little peer study groups and get the act together. It's NEVER too early to start and I hope the class as a whole will hold on to each other and reach for greater heights together.. as 1G.
For the lot of you who have done well, I urge you to share that x-factor, be it dilligence or intelligence with your classmates. It could be a mere nudge that will help motivate one of your friends to better that extra inch in his work.. and that nudge could be from YOU! Yes, think about it. ;p
This is going to be short term, a very short semester. So time to "throw out the old socks and put on some clean, new, tardy ones".. you know what I mean? ... well, coz i seriously dun think we'll have time to pull at them this term.
I wish you all the best, 1G.
Nil Sine Labore.
