BILL BILL GA GATES’ GA TES’ 11 11 R RRULES R ULES FOR FOR STUDENTS STUDENTS 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 40 thousand dollars 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. He doesn’t have tenure. Rule 5 - Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity. Rule 6 - Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades; 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 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 are. So, before you save the rainforest from the parasites of your parents generation, try “delousing” the closet in your own room. DROPS DROPS OF OF OF NECT NECTAR NECT NECTAR AR 304 Rule 8 - If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them. 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 a 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.

PERFECTION PERFECTION In Brooklyn, New York, Chush is a school that caters to learning disabled children. Some children remain in Chush for their entire school career, while others can be mainstreamed into conventional schools. At a Chush fund-raising dinner, the father of a Chush child delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he cried out, “Where is the perfection in my son, Shaya? Everything God does is done with perfection. But my child cannot understand things as other children do. My child cannot remember facts and figures as other children do. Where is God’s perfection?” The audience was shocked by the question, pained by the father’s anguish and stilled by the piercing query. “I believe,” the father answered, “that when God brings a child like this into the world, the perfection that he seeks is in the way people react to this child.” He then told the following story about his son, Shaya:”One afternoon, Shaya and I walked past a park where some boys Shaya knew were playing baseball. Shaya asked, ‘Do you think they will let me play?” I knew that my son was not at all athletic, and that most boys would not want him on their team. But I understood that if my his son was chosen to play, it would give him a comfortable sense of belonging. I approached one of the boys in the field and asked if Shaya could play. The boy looked around for guidance from his teammates. Getting none, DROPS DROPS OF OF OF NECT NECTAR NECT NECTAR AR 306 he took matters into his own hands, and said, ‘We are losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team, and we’ll try to put him up to bat in the ninth inning.’ I was ecstatic as Shaya smiled broadly. Shaya was to go put on a glove,and go out to play shortcenter-field. In the bottom of the eight inning,Shaya’s team scored a few runs, but was still behind by three. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shaya’s team scored again, and, now with two outs and the bases loaded with the potential winning run on base, Shaya was scheduled to be up. Would the team actually let Shaya bat at this juncture and give away its chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shaya was given the bat. Everyone knew that it was all but impossible because Shaya didn’t even know how to hold the bat, properly,let alone hit with it. However, as Shaya stepped up to the plate the pitcher moved a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shaya should at least be able to make contact. The first pitch came, and Shay swung, clumsily, and missed. One of Shaya’s teammates came up to Shaya and, together they held the bat and faced the pitcher, waiting for the next pitch. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly toward Shaya. As the pitch came in, Shaya and his teammate swung at the ball,and,together they hit a slow ground ball to the pitcher. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder, and could easily have thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shaya would have been out, and that would have ended the game. Instead, the pitcher took the ball and threw it on a high arc to right field, far beyond the reach of the first baseman. Everyone started yelling, ‘Shaya, run to first. Run to first’ DROPS DROPS OF OF OF NECT NECTAR NECT NECTAR AR 307
