In school, they will not teach you how to prepare for real life, in which there is competition, challenges, failures, envy, jealousy, hatred, struggle, love, fear...
If you want to be successful, you must work on yourself, your personal growth. The learning process begins with an educational journey, ingenuity and the ability to transfer knowledge to real life also play an important role.
They didn't tell you how to put theory into practice in school. Bill Gates gave a lecture at an American high school, where he highlighted 11 things you won't learn in school, but can serve you as a starting point for building a successful career and personality.
1. Life is not fair - you have to get used to it.
2. The world doesn't care if you have self-respect. The world accepts your achievements before you start feeling good about yourself.
3. You won't be making thousands and thousands of dollars as soon as you finish school. You won't even be in the role of president with a business phone until you earn it.
4. If you think your teacher is strict, wait until you have a boss.
5. There is no shame in working at a fast food restaurant. Your predecessors called such work OPPORTUNITY.
6. If you make a mistake, it's not your parents' fault, so don't complain, just learn from your mistakes.
7. Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. Paying the bills, washing the clothes, and listening to your 'problems' made them that way. Before you start complaining, please clean your room and help them.
8. In school, you have unlimited opportunities to correct a bad grade. It doesn't exist in real life.
9. Life is not divided into semesters. You don't even have a holiday. There are very few colleagues who will help you find yourself. Do this in your spare time.
10. Television is not real life. In real life, people have to work.
11. Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll work for them someday.
