Some Words to Youth by Bill Gates
Guidance for Reciting
A reflection upon today's college students' thinking and studying will make you find much to be desired；perhaps it is of great help to take a deep thought upon the words by the undergraduate as well as the richest man in the world.
If you think your teacher is tough，wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.
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.
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.

反思一下当代大学生的思想状况和学习状况，会发现总有很多不尽如人意之处；或许，审慎地思考一下这位大学肄业生、但同时也是世界首富的忠告对你度过大学时光是大有裨益的。
如果你认为学校里的老师过于严厉，那么等你有工作了再回头想一想。你的老板可没有任期（除非自己当老板了，否则一直都有老板）。
你所在的学校也许已经不再分优等生和劣等生了，但生活并不如此。在某些学校已经废除了“不及格”的概念，学校会不断地给你机会让你进步，然而现实生活完全不是这样的。
走出学校后的生活不像在学校一样有学期之分，也没有暑假之说。没有几位老板乐于帮你发现自我，你必须依靠自己去完成。
