Love him or hate him (Bill Gates or Charles Sykes), he surely hits
the nail on the head with this. He talked about feel-good, politically correct
teachings that created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how
this concept sets them for a failure in the real world.

I calls them the 14 Inspirational Rules of all time.
Read too...
- Life is not fair, get used to it.
- The world won’t care about your self esteem. The world would expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself
- 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.
- If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
- Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.
- If you mess up, its not your parent's fault. So don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
- Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they we now. They got that way from paying your bits, cleaning your clothes end listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from fire parasites of your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
- 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.
- 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
- Television Is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs
- Smoking does not make you look cool. It makes you look moronic. Next time you're out cruising, watch an 11-year-old with a butt in his mouth. That's what you look like to anyone over 40.
- You are not immortal. (See above Rule) If you are under the impression that living fast, dying young and leaving a beautiful corpse is romantic, you obviously haven't seen one of your peers at room temperature lately.
- Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end working
for one.
Last but not the least... - Enjoy this while you can. Sure parents are a pain, school's a bother, and life is depressing. But someday you'll realize how wonderful it was to be a kid. Maybe you should start now.
