In Bill Gates' Book for high school and college graduates, there is a list of 11 things they did not learn in school.

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 rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
8. 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.
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.
9.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。
10. Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
10.电视并不是遥的生活。 在现实生活中,人们实际上得离开咖啡屋去干自己的工作。
11. Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
