Please note that these links do exist -- but they're in the process of being shuffled around a little because of some asshole making an issue of my web sites in court. If one doesn't work today -- it will very soon. I'm guessing November 30, 2005!

Studebaker Style

I received the below 11 rules from two different people. One claimed that the it comes from Bill Gates' book Business @ The Speed of Thought, while the other claimed it came from Charles Sykes’ book Dumbing Down Our Kids. I have not personally read either of the books so I can’t tell you for sure where it originated — but the rules do make a lot of sense and I congratulate whomever is the true author of them.

Rule 1 - Life is not fair; get used to it.

Rule 2 - The world won't care about your self-esteem.  The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3 - You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school.  You won't be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.

Rule 4 - If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.  He doesn't have tenure.

Rule 5 - Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity.  Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.

Rule 6 - If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7 - 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 parents' generation, try "delousing" the closet in your own room.

Rule 8 - Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not.  In some schools they have abolished failing grades; 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.

Rule 9 - 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.

Rule 10 - Television is NOT real life.  In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11 - Be nice to nerds.  Chances are you'll end up working for one.
