The_Kansan: 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 $60,000 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.
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 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.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and 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.

Yes, the realities of life sometimes are not always what we imagined ........ but its a matter of making the best of what is dealt us. Changing the things within our power and knowing when its best to just to leave things be.

Try telling that to Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney. They were earning more than that a week by the time they were 18.

Maybe we should send this out via a massive group text message to all students. Probably the only way they might read it!

The only way they will read it is if Sony makes a video game out of it.

Good old common sense
Another great post by Don!!
I don't understand why they hand out trophys to every kid, whether they accomplish achievement or not??
One of the best lessons in life that must be taught kids is how to lose gracefully and with dignity. How can they learn that while being presented a trophy?
Most people in life lose more times than they win. I am afraid when these kids grow up, they will have a very hard time adjusting to the real world.
