   1. 生活是不公平的；习惯吧。

   2. 这世界并不在意你的自尊心。这个世界指望你先要有所成就，再有良好的自我感觉。

   3. 你不会中学一毕业就有6万美元的年薪。在你爬到这个位置之前，你不是公司的副总裁，拥有一部装在汽车里的电话。

   4. 如果你觉得你的老师严厉，等有了老板再想想什么叫严厉吧！不像老师，老板可不是铁饭碗。

   5. 烤汉堡饱包无损你的尊严。你的祖父母对烤汉堡饱包可有不同的定义；他们称它为机遇。

   6. 如果你生活一团糟，那不是你父母的过错，所以不要抱怨，要从中吸取教训。

   7. 在你出生之前，你的父母并非像现在这样乏味。他们变成今天这个样子是因为这些年来他们一直在为你付账单，给你洗衣服，听你砍你多么的酷。所以，如果你想消灭源自你父母那一辈的寄生虫来拯救森林的话，还是先灭了你自己房间衣柜里的虫子吧。

   8. 你的学校也许已经不再区分成功者和失败者，但现实生活还没有。有些学校已经废除不及格等地。只要你愿意找到正确答案，学校会给你无数次的机会。这和现实生活没有任何相似之处。

   9. 生活不分学期。你没有暑假可以休息，也没有雇主愿意帮你找到自我。自己花时间找吧。

  10. 电视不是生活。在现实生活中，人们实际上得离开咖啡屋去上班工作。

  11. 善待书呆子。有可能到头来书呆子会是你的老板。

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 are. 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.

Rule No. 12:   Smoking does not make you look cool. It makes you look moronic. Next time you're out cruising, watch an 11-year-old with a butt in his mouth. That's what you look like to anyone over 20. Ditto for "expressing yourself" with purple hair and/or pierced body parts.

Rule No. 13:   You are not immortal. (See Rule No. 12.) If you are under the impression that living fast, dying young and leaving a beautiful corpse is romantic, you obviously haven't seen one of your peers at room temperature lately.

Rule No. 14:   Enjoy this while you can. Sure parents are a pain, school's a bother, and life is depressing. But someday you'll realize how wonderful it was to be a kid. Maybe you should start now. You're welcome.

（顺便说一句，据本人考证，这个是别人假托 Gates 的名义写的。。。但是却是至理名言。）
