1、Life
is
not
fair,
get
used
to
it.
生活是不公平的;要去适应它。
——比尔盖茨
2、The
world
wont
care
about
your
self-esteem.
The
world
will
expect
you
to
accomplish
something
before
you
feel
good
about
yourself.
这世界并不会在意你的自尊。这世界指望你在自我感觉良好之前先要有所成就。——比尔盖茨
3、You
will
not
make
40
thousand
dollars
a
year
right
out
of
high
school.
You
wont
be
a
vice
president
with
a
car
phone,
until
you
earn
both.
高中刚毕业你不会一年挣4万美元。你不会成为一个公司的副总裁,并拥有一部装有电话的汽车,直到你将此职位和汽车电话都挣到手。——比尔盖茨
4、If
you
think
your
teacher
is
tough,
wait
till
you
get
a
boss.
He
doesnt
have
tenure.
如果你认为你的老师严厉,等你有了老板再这样想。老板可是没有任期限制的。——比尔盖茨
5、Flipping
burgers
is
not
beneath
your
dignity.
Your
grandparents
had
a
different
word
for
burger
flipping;
they
called
it
opportunity.
烙牛肉饼并不有损你的尊严。你的祖父母对烙牛肉饼可有不同的定义;他们称它为机遇。
——比尔盖茨
6、If
you
mess
up,
its
not
your
parents
fault,
so
dont
whine
about
our
mistakes,
learn
from
them.
如果你陷入困境,那不是你父母的过错,所以不要尖声抱怨我们的错误,要从中吸取教训。——比尔盖茨
7、Before
you
were
born,
your
parents
werent
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
rain
forest
from
the
parasites
of
your
parents
generation,
try
delousing
the
closet
in
your
own
room.
在你出生之前,你的父母并非像他们现在这样乏味。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,听你大谈你是如何的酷。所以,如果你想消灭你父母那一辈中的寄生虫来拯救雨林的话,还是先去清除你房间衣柜里的虫子吧。——比尔盖茨
8、Your
school
may
have
done
away
with
winners
and
losers,
but
life
has
not.
In
some
schools
they
have
abolished
failing
grades;
theyll
give
you
as
many
times
as
you
want
to
get
the
right
answer.
This
doesnt
bear
the
slightest
resemblance
to
anything
in
real
life.
你的学校也许已经不再分优等生和劣等生,但生活却仍在作出类似区分。在某些学校已经废除不及格分;只要你想找到正确答案,学校就会给你无数的机会。这和现实生活中的任何事情没有一点相似之处。——比尔盖茨
9、Life
is
not
divided
into
semesters.
You
dont
get
summers
off
and
very
few
employers
are
interested
in
helping
you
find
yourself.
Do
that
on
your
own
time.
生活不分学期。你并没有暑假可以休息,也没有几位雇主乐于帮你发现自我。自己找时间做吧。——比尔盖茨
10、Television
is
NOT
real
life.
In
real
life
people
actually
have
to
leave
the
coffee
shop
and
go
to
jobs.
电视并不是真实的生活。在现实生活中,人们实际上得离开咖啡屋去干自己的工作。——比尔盖茨
11、Be
nice
to
nerds.
Chances
are
youll
end
up
working
for
one.
善待乏味的人。有可能到头来你会为一个乏味的人工作。——比尔盖茨 |
