Bill Gates

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.

Principle 1 - Adapt to your life. You must accept that life is unfair. Nobody is born perfect and lucky, you must learn to adapt to your life, then change it. How your live is going to be will be totally lies in your hand. You must manage and handle your own life.

Principle 2 - Pursue for success. This world will not care who you are, you must pursue for success only then you can get a foothold in your life. Success is the highest state of life, it can change your behavior and attitude, and even your self-esteem. If you think that success doesn’t belong to you, that is a lame thinking.

Principle 3 - No pain, no gain. Success will never come automatically, you need to pay for it if you desire for it. This is the basic principle in our life, you aren’t going to become a CEO of certain company if you don’t work for it. You will not going to make $10k a month if you’re not paying any effort in it. Therefore stop thinking that success will drop from heaven, without hard work , success will not be yours.

Principle 4 -Change your attitude. If you think that your teachers in school are strict, think about your boss after you’ve gone for work. So stop blaming other people and change your attitude on how you look at things.

Principle 5- Everything matters. No matter small or big business, they can make you money. Small business can grows into big businesses. Thus, by slowly taking small steps everyday, you can achieve big result one day.

Principle 6 - Learn from mistakes. This is what Mr Gates urges us to do. We need to learn from our mistakes. Everyone will make mistakes, nobody is perfect in this world. If you ever made a mistake, then learn from it, and never repeat it again. Only by doing so, you can improve yourself to a higher level of success.

Principle 7 - Do it yourself. In this world, you will have to do most of the things yourself. Stop relying on others. If you keep on relying on others, you will not learn the process. The more you rely on other, the more you will lose yourself to them, and hence you will keep on relying on them. This is your own success, not others!

Principle 8 -You’ve got only one chance. Many things in our life only happen once. Therefore you’ve have to take that chance and appreciate it. Sometimes if you’ve lost that chance, don’t worry, you can always create it.

Principle 9 - Value your time. We’ve got only 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We’ve don’t have much time in fact, life is short. You must learn to value your time. Put your time into process that can makes you grow, makes you success. Just remember this, don’t bring today’s tasks to tomorrow.

Principle 10 - Do what you suppose to do. What you see in television everyday is not the real world. In the real world, you need to get out and work things out.

Principle 11 - Be good with everyone around you. This is the golden rule of life, treat everyone good, and everyone will treat you good. So if you want to be rich, make other people rich first. This golden rule of life will not change, and you have to follow it in order to success.
