Bill Gates was invited by a high school to give a lecture. He arrived by
helicopter, took the paper from the pocket where he had written eleven
items. He read everything in less than 5 minutes, was applauded for more
than 10 minutes non-stop, thanked him and left in his helicopter. What
was written is very interesting, read:

1. Life isn't easy — get used to it.

2. The world is not concerned about your self-esteem. The world expects
you to do something useful for it BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

A former cleaning lady becomes a chef and fulfils her dream of having
her own organic restaurant

True story: A simple (but powerful) gesture of kindness from a CEO

3. You will not earn $20,000 a month once you leave school. You won't be
vice president of a company with a car and phone available until you've
managed to buy your own car and phone.

4. If you find your teacher rude, wait until you have a boss. He will
not feel sorry for you.

5. Selling old newspapers or working while on vacation is not beneath
your social standing. Your grandparents have a different word for it:
they call it opportunity.

6. If you fail, it's not your parents' fault. So do not whine about your
mistakes, learn from them.

7. Before you were born, your parents weren't as critical as they are
now. They only got that way from paying your bills, washing your clothes
and hearing you say they're "ridiculous." So before saving the planet
for the next generation wanting to fix the mistakes of your parent's
generation, try cleaning your own room.

8. Your school may have blurred the distinction between winners and
losers, but life isn't like that. In some schools, you don't repeat more
than a year and you have as many chances as you need to get it right.
This looks like absolutely NOTHING in real life. If you step on the
ball, you're fired… STREET!!! Do it right the first time!

9. Life is not divided into semesters. You won't always have summers
off, and it's unlikely that other employees will help you with your
tasks at the end of each term.

10. Television is NOT real life. In real life, people have to leave the
bar or the club and go to work.

11. Be nice to the CDFs (those students that others think are assholes).
There is a high probability that you will work FOR one of them.”

Know these and know peace. I come in PEACE 😇

What is CDF slang for?
Refers to the term 'Common Dog F--k', but it actually means "common
sense". If someone lacks CDF it means they lack common sense.
