Bill Gates’ 10 advices to young people
比爾蓋茲給年輕人的10個意見

Before retiring in July 2008, Bill Gates gave the following advices to high school students. Who knows you will become a second Bill Gates after learning from these valuable advices?
比爾蓋茲2008年退休前給年輕人的遺言 (誤) 是退休前的忠告

1. “Life is not fair - get used to it.”
-> The world is never fair. You know this? You can never change the whole world. Injustice still exists in the current society, so you should try to adapt.
1. 你要習慣人生就是他X的不公平
這個世界從來都是不公平的，而你也無能為力去改變整個世界。即使在今天的社會，不正義依然存在，所以你只能去學著適應他。

2. “The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.”
-> Your extreme self-esteem may make your job inconvenient. Don't attach too much significance on your self-esteem as people care about your achievements rather than it.
2. 這個世界不在乎也不會去在乎你個人的自尊，因為在你能自我感覺良好前，你要先達到某種程度的成功
太強的自尊有可能讓你的工作不方便，不要過度高估自己的重要性，因為其他人在乎的不是你而是你能為他們做到的事情。

3. “You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with car phone, until you earn both.”
-> Normally you can't be rich if you have just finished high school. However to become an executive, you need to obtain both: a high school certificate and the money.
3. 你不可能剛畢業就可以一年賺4萬美金，你也不可能馬上會是個有車內電話的高級主管，因為這兩項是密不可分的。
(總之就是說這2種條件不可能只會有其中一種而以沒另一種，因為通常一定是同時擁有的)
正常來說剛畢業的人不可能馬上變有錢，但是要成為一個高級主管一定需要擁有兩種條件：高中畢業證書 + 錢

4. “If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.”
-> Don’t complain that your boss is tough. When you are at school, your teachers always stand by you whenever you meet problems. However if you have thought that all your problems really come from the hard requirements of your teachers, you shouldn't look for a job. Simply if there aren't strict demands from your company, you will do nothing and quickly become unemployed. Then nobody will give you a hand.
4. 如果你認為你老師很嚴厲，等你有了老闆再來抱怨。
別抱怨老闆嚴，因為當你在學校碰到困難時，總是有老師在你旁邊幫解決，但是假如你認為你在學校碰到的問題其實是老師要求的標準太高所造成，你不適合去找工作，因為如果你去了一家對自己員工沒有高標準的公司，你一定會因懶散而迅速被解雇，到時就沒有任何人能幫你了。

5. “If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.”
-> Don't blame your failure on your destiny. All you need now is to stay calm and start from scratch.
5. 如果你搞砸了，這絕對不是你父母的錯，所以與其怨天尤人，不如當作一個教訓。
別把自己命運中的不順怪在父母頭上，你只是需要先冷靜下來再重來一次。

6. “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 parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.”
-> You should show your gratefulness to your parents for spending most of their lives for your living and growth. All the “outdated” of your parents today is the price they have to pay for your growth.
6. 在你父母生你前，他們也是很酷的。他們因為為了幫你付錢、洗衣服和凌聽你成長的過程才會變成像現在這樣的無趣。所以在你決定從你父母這代的垃圾中拯救任何熱帶雨林前，試著先從整理自己的房間開始。
你應該對自己的父母表示感恩，因為他們把自己大部分的人生精力都花在了你的成長上。變成落伍的"父母"是為了讓你能健康成長須要付出的代價。

7. “Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life may 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.”
-> Keep in mind that you can always become a leader, so that you will have more motivation to strive for your career.
(不好意思這一點在台灣可能不成立....)
7. 你的學校可能不在乎誰的分數比較高，但是現實生活裡可不是這樣。在一些學校裡，甚至放棄了不及格的制度，他們會給你機會讓重考到你及格為止，但在現實社會裡可完全不是這樣。
記著一點，永遠認為自己可以成為一個領導者，這樣才能讓自己更有上進心

8. “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.”
-> Don’t always wait for holidays or you will be left behind your colleagues. That backwardness means elimination and unemployment.
8. 現實人生裡可沒有放假，而且職場上很少同事會好心的幫助你認識自己，所以自己找時間好好認識自己。
不要老是等著放假，這會讓你的競爭力落後其他人，最後結局就是失業。

9. “Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.”
-> Everybody likes watching TV, but you shouldn't watch it too much. As that actually isn't your life and your thinking will be influenced. You yourself have to determine your own life.
9. 電視裡演的跟現實的人生是不一樣的。在現實生活裡，大家是要工作的而不是動不動就能在咖啡店裡閒談
每個人都愛看電視，但是你不該看太久，因為看太久會影響你對現實的生活產生不切實際的幻想。自己的人生要自己決定。

10. “Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.”
-> You should be nice to everyone. Life has happenings you could never expect. Be open to your boss, don’t say bad things behind his back as it will bring you nowhere.
10. 最後，對書呆子的態度好點，因為他們日後很有可能會成為你的老闆。
其實你應該對每個人都好，因為命運常常捉弄人。還有對自己的老闆不要有成見，更不要在他背後說他壞話，因為對你一點好處都沒有。
