比爾·蓋茨智慧語錄（很經典，很受用）

概述：比爾·蓋茨無須多說，看看人家說的吧，不知有什麼感想？

Life is not fair, get used to it.

不要祈求生活公平，只需要適應它。

　　The world won"t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.

世界是不會在乎你的尊嚴的。而他卻指望你在我感覺良好之前取得一定的成就。

　　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.

你不會高中一畢業就會年賺4萬美金。你也不會成為一家公司的副總裁，也不會擁有一台汽車電話，直到這兩樣你都賺到。

　　If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn"t have tenure.

如果你認為老師太嚴厲的話，那等你有了老闆就知道了。而且老闆會一直存在的。

　　Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.

烙牛肉餅這不會有損你的尊嚴。你的父輩們對烙牛肉餅有著不同的理解；他們稱這是機遇。

　　If you mess up, it"s not your parents" fault, so don"t whine about our mistakes, learn from them.

如果你深陷困境，那不是你父母的錯，所以呢就不要抱怨了，吸取教訓吧！

　　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 rain forest from the parasites of your parents" generation, try "delousing" the closet in your own room.

在你未出生之前，你的父母並不是現在這樣了無生機。他們之所以變成今天這個樣子，都是因為這些年來他們一直為你買單，為你洗，傾聽你大談特談你是多麼的酷。所以，在你想除去父母一輩的「寄生蟲」來拯救雨林的話，那你還是先清除你卧室柜子里的小蟲子吧！

　　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.

或許你的學校已不再區分優等生和劣等生，然生活中卻依舊存在。在某些學校，不及格份早已不復存在；只要你想找到正確答案，學校就會給你無數的機會。這卻和現實生活中卻相差十萬八千里。

　　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.

生活沒有上下學期。你的暑假也不會再有，只有很少的老闆樂意幫你尋找真實的你。找個時間就好好乾吧！

　　Television is not real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

電視不是現實生活。現實中，人們不得不離開咖啡店，去工作。
