在現今的教育體制多變下，我們的孩子被稱為不堪一擊的草莓族，孩子在政策多變中求取立足點，為的還是將來的生存作努力。看看比爾蓋茲給畢業生的11個人生建議，或許可以教出較切實際的下一代，讓他們在出社會前，減少現實生活的諸多挫敗...
Rule 1.人生是不公平的，習慣去接受它吧！
Life is not fair; get used to it.
Rule 2.這個世界不會在乎你的自尊，這個世界期望你先
做出成績，再去強調自己的感受。
The world doesn't care about your self-esteem. The world expects
you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3.你不會一離開學校就有百萬年薪，你不會馬上就是擁有
行動電話的副總裁，二者你都必須靠努力賺來。
You will not make $40,000 a year right out of high school. You won't
be a vice president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule4.如果你覺得你的老師很兇，等你有了老闆就知道
了，老闆是沒有工作任期保障的。
If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss.
He doesn't have tenure.
Rule 5.在速食店煎漢堡(指一般的小生意)並不是作賤自
己，你的祖父母對煎漢堡有完全不同的定義：
機會。
Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had
a different word for burger flipping; they called it "opportunity".
Rule 6.如果你一事無成，不是你父母的錯，所以不要只
會對自己犯的錯發牢騷，從錯誤中去學習教訓。
If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about
your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7.在你出生前，你的父母並不像現在這般無趣，他
們變成這樣是因為忙著付你的開銷，幫你洗衣服
，還要聽你吹噓自己有多了不起。所以在你拯救
被父母這代人破壞的熱帶雨林前，先整理一下自
己的房間吧！
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 are. So before you
save the rainforest from the parasites of your parents' generation,
try"delousing" the closet in your own room.
Rule 8.在學校裡可能有贏家和輸家，在人生中卻還言之
過早。學校可能會不斷給你機會找到正確答案，
真實人生中卻完全不是這麼回事。(現實生活是
殘酷的,學習機會稍縱即逝)
Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life
has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades;they
give you as many chances as you need to get the right answer.
This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life.
Rule 9. 人生不是學期制，人生沒有寒暑假，沒有哪個
雇主有興趣協助你找尋自我，請用自己的空暇
做這件事吧！
Life is not divided into semesters. You do not get summers off and
very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do
that on your own time.
Rule10.電視上演得並不是真實的人生。真實人生中每
個人都要離開咖啡廳去上班。
Television is not real life. In real life people actually have to leave
the coffee shop and go get jobs.
Rule 11.對書呆子好一點，你未來很可能就為其中一個
工作。
Be nice to nerds, chances are good you'll end up working for one
someday.
