Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Voljeli ga ili mrzili, s ovim je pogodio u srž. Bill Gates nedavno je održao govor u Srednjoj školi o 11 stvari koje niste i nećete naučiti u školi. Govorio je o tome kako politički korektni učitelji stvaraju generacije djece bez koncepta realnosti i kako ih taj koncept vodi u neuspjeh u pravom svijetu.

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!
Pravilo 1: Život nije fer, navikni se na to.

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.
Pravilo 2: Svijet nije briga za tvoje samopoštovanje. Svijet prihvaća ako postigneš nešto prije nego se počneš osjećati dobro u svojoj koži.

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.
Pravilo 3: Nećeš zarađivati $60,000 godišnje čim izađeš iz srednje škole. Nećeš biti potpredsjednik sa službenim telefonom, sve dok to ne zaradiš.

Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Pravilo 4: Ako misliš da ti je učitelj strog, čekaj dok ne dobiješ šefa.

Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.
Pravilo 5: Pečenje hamburgera nije ti ispod časti. Tvoji preci imali su drugu riječ za pečenje hamburgera: zvali su to prilikom.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Pravilo 6: Ako pogriješiš, nisu tvoji roditelji krivi, ne kukaj nad svojim grješkama, uči iz njih.

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.
Pravilo 7: Prije tvog rođenja, tvoji roditelji nisu bili dosadni kao sada. Postali su takvi zbog plaćanja tvojih računa, čišćenja tvoje odjeće i slušanja tebe kako pričaš kako si cool. Stoga, prije nego spasiš šume od parazita, pokušaj složiti ormar u svojoj vlastitoj sobi.

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.
Pravilo 8: Tvoja škola ima način za rješavanje i pobjednika i gubitnika - život nema. U nekim školama ukinuli su negativne ocjene i daju ti bezbroj prilika da daš pravi odgovor. Ovo nema nikakve sličnosti sa stvarnim životom.

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.
Pravilo 9: Život nije podijeljen u semestre. Nema slobodnog ljeta i vrlo malo zaposlenika je zainteresirano da ti pomogne da nađeš sebe. To čini u svoje slobodno vrijeme.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Pravilo10: Televizija nije pravi život. U pravom životu ljudi moraju napustiti kafić i otići na posao.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
Pravilo11: Budi ljubazan prema štreberima. Velike su šanse da ćeš raditi za jednog.

If you can read this - Thank a teacher! Ako ovo možeš pročitati, zahvali svom učitelju.
