Bill Gates' Advice to Students

• Life is not fair - get used to it!
• If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
• If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
• 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 thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
• Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

Thinking Out of Box

• When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $1.2 billion developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300° C.
• When Russians faced the same problem....................They used a pencil.
