According to the magazine Forbes, his fortune would be around $ 89.200 billion and although it is true that success is not synonymous with wealth, in the case of B. Gates it could be said that one thing led him to have the other.
So why not learn from the best entrepreneurs and the keys they give us as advice to improve and achieve success? Therefore, I bring you the Bill Gates rules that no one will teach you in school. Take note and decide if it is worth taking them into account or not ...
The 11 rules
- Life is not fair. Don't wait any longer for life to put things on a platter for you. You may deserve them, but you should look for them yourself.
- The world doesn't care about your self-esteem, or your situation. The world just hopes that you can succeed at something, no matter how good you feel about yourself. Therefore, start doing something for yourself, right now and at this very moment.
- You won't earn $ 60.000 a month right after you finish your training and graduate. Don't expect that. You will have to work pretty hard to get that "reward."
- If you think that teacher you have at school is pretty badass, get ready to meet your future boss. Instead of exposing yourself in front of the whole class, this time it will be in front of the entire office or workplace.
- Working as a hamburger waiter, for example, does not violate your dignity. Swallow your pride and fight for your goal, the road has never been easy.
- If you make a mistake, don't blame or hold your parents or others responsible for your mistake. Take your responsibility and learn from mistakes.
- Your parents know things about life that you still don't. If for you they are boring today, think that they were also young, that they also enjoyed, that they also experimented and that they were also wrong. Of those mistakes perhaps they can advise you today.
- At your school, distinctions may no longer be made between winners and losers, but in real life this distinction still holds. The result of an examination does not justify the means. It is nothing like real life.
- Life is not divided into semesters. Spend your time doing something really worthwhile. Time is tight and it flies by.
- What you see on television is not real life. In real life you work, you study, you don't spend hours and hours in coffee shops with your friends.
- Be nice to nerds. Possibly, you end up working for one of them.
