比尔·盖茨的9条忠告
《青年文摘·彩版》2008年第8期“彩版讲义”
52岁的微软公司创始人比尔·盖茨于近日从微软 “一把手”执行董事长的位置退休，转任非执行董事长，自此全身心投入慈善事业。他将个人的580亿美元资产全部捐赠给名下的慈善基金，没有留给子女一分钱，因为他“希望以最能产生正面影响的方式回馈社会”。他说，“钱越多，责任越大。”
当然，除了这些，盖茨留给世界的还有他著名的9条忠告：
1.生活是不公平的，你要去适应它。
2.这个世界并不会在意你的自尊，而是要求你在自我感觉良好之前先有所成就。
3.刚从学校走出来时你不可能一个月挣6万美元，更不会成为哪家公司的副总裁，还拥有一部汽车，直到你将这些都挣到手的那一天。
4.如果你认为学校里的老师过于严厉，那么等你有了老板再回头想一想。
5.卖汉堡包并不会有损于你的尊严。你的祖父母对卖汉堡包有着不同的理解，他们称之为“机遇”。
6.如果你陷入困境，那不是你父母的过错，不要将你理应承担的责任转嫁给他人，而要学着从中吸取教训。
7.在你出生之前，你的父母并不像现在这样乏味。他们变成今天这个样子是因为这些年来一直在为你付账单、给你洗衣服。所以，在对父母喋喋不休之前，还是先去打扫一下你自己的屋子吧。
8.没有几位老板乐于帮你发现自我，你必须依靠自己去完成。
9.善待你所厌恶的人，因为说不定哪一天你就会为这样的一个人工作。

9 pieces of advice of Bill Gates
9 pieces of advice of Bill Gates
52-year-old Microsoft founder Bill Gates recently retired from Microsoft in position of the Executive Chairman, and became a non-executive Chairman and since then he has dedicated to charity. Without leaving his children one penny, He will donate all his assets of 58 billion U.S. dollars to charity which is in the name of him. He "would like to have a positive impact on society in the best way of feedback.” He said, "more money, the greater the duty."
Of course, besides, Gates also left his famous 9 piece of advice to the world: ：
1. Life is not fair, you must adapt to it.
2. The world does not care about your self-esteem, but requires you have an achievement before you feel good.
3.You can not earn 60,000 U.S. dollars a month when you just get out of school, not to mention a vice president owning a car in a company until you have earned all these in hand.
4. If you think teachers in school are too strict, you would look back when you have a boss.
5.Selling hamburger does not damage to your dignity. Your grandparents have different understanding of it when they call it "a opportunity."
6. If you're in trouble, it will not be the fault of your parents, you are learning from it instead of shifting the responsibility onto others.
7.Before you were born， your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills，and cleaning your clothes. So before you talk your parents’ ear off， try cleaning your own room.
8.Few employers are willing to help you on self-discovery; you must rely on yourself to accomplish it.
9.Be nice to nerds, maybe one day you will be working for such a person.
