Life Rules - These were given to me by a teacher. My comments are those in the brackets. - Schools

ONE: Life is not fair. Get used to it. [I do not have to get used to it. If Bill Gates can put some wires and circuits together and make $40 billion, so can I.]
TWO: If you think your teacher is tough, wait ‘til you get a boss. [Teachers are worse. Your boss won’t call your parents and tell them that you’re doing a bad job.]
THREE: Life is not divided into semesters, and you won’t get summers off. [Not true if you go for a job in the education field.]
FOUR: Sorry, but you won’t make $40,000 a year right out of high school. [Actually, a lot of kids, especially in technology fields, can make MORE than $40,000 a year.]
FIVE: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. [Of course it isn’t. How are you going to have a family barbecue if someone isn’t barbecuing?]
SIX: It’s not your parent’s fault. If you screw up, YOU are responsible. [Okay, let me get this straight. First they tell us “it isn’t your fault.” if something happens, like your parents get divorced. Now, everything’s our fault again.]
SEVEN: Smoking and chewing does not make you look cool. It makes you look like a moron. [No comment.]
EIGHT: You are not immortal. [Sez you!]
NINE: Always say “thank you”, even if you don’t mean it. [What if someone just slapped you across the face?]
TEN: People not to talk back to: 1) your teacher; 2) first sergeants; 3) the police; 4) your mother. [Of course not. Wait until their backs are turned. Then start talking.]
