Bill Gates’ 11 Rules of Life…

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.

Towards Healthy Life……

1. Throw out nonessential numbers.
This includes age, weight, and height.
(Let the doctors worry about them.. That is why you pay them.)

2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down.
(Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)

3. Keep learning:
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever.
Never let the brain get idle.
‘An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.’
And the devil’s name is Alzheimer’s!

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots
of time with him or her!

6. The tears happen:
Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life, is our self.
LIVE while you are alive.

7 Surround yourself with what you love:
Whether it’s family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health:
If it is good, preserve it.
If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don’t take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, even to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity..

WHEN A LIZARD CAN, WHY CAN’T WE ?

This is a true story that happened in Japan.

In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan breaks open the wall.

Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls.

When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet.

He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.

What happened?

The lizard has survived in such position for 10 years !

In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving, it is impossible and mind-boggling.

Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years!!! Without moving a single step - since its foot was nailed !

So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating.

Later, not knowing from where it came appears another lizard, with food in its mouth.

Ah! He was stunned and touched deeply.

For the lizard That was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past 10 years…

Imagine ! it has been doing that untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner.

Think. Would you do that for your partner ?

Think. Would you do it for your Mom who brought you after a big struggle of nine long months ?
Or for your Dad, Friends, brothers and Sisters ?

Imagine what a small creature can do that a creature blessed with a brilliant mind can’t.

As information and communication technology advances, our access to information becomes faster and faster. But the Distance between human beings . . . is it getting closer as well ?

Please never abandon your loved ones
Never Say U R Busy When They Really Need You ….

You May Have The Entire World At Your Feet…..
But You Might Be The Only World To Them….

A Moment of negligence might break the very heart which loves you thru all odds..

Before you say something just remember. It takes a moment to Break but an entire life to make…

To Survive use your Brains,

but to Live, use your Heart.
