BILL GATES' SPEECH
To anyone with kids of any age, here's some advice. Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
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
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
Understanding the Supreme Person
Some people argue that there is no Supreme Person. But their argument is baseless and illogical. To understand how there must be a Supreme Person kindly consider these points:Does everyone have the same amount of wealth? No. Everyone has a different amount of wealth. I may have $10. You may have $100. Someone may have $1,000,000. Somewhere within the vast expanse of existence there is a person who has more wealth than anyone else. Similarly everyone has different amounts of strength, beauty, knowledge, renunciation, and fame. When we can locate that person who exceeds all others in power, beauty, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame we have found the Supreme Person.
To argue that there is no Supreme Person is to say that everyone has the same quantity of power, beauty, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. Since this is obviously not true can logically, philosophically, scientifically understand that the Supreme Person MUST exist. The next step is to meet Him.
Answers According to the Vedic Version:
Question: What Makes You Different?
What makes you any different than any other intolerant religious group?
John
Answer: Why Different? We are All One Family.
I am not a group. I am an individual who has realized the Absolute Truth. I respect every living creature as my brother since we are all children of the same Supreme Father. Whether you call Him Krishna, Allah, or Jehovah is not an issue. One's spiritual progress is not measured by what group they associate with or by what name they choose to address the Supreme Person. Each individual's spiritual progress is understood by how much they have become a lover of God and by how much they are therefore naturally disinterested in material sense gratification.
There are other people who have had personal realizations similar to mine. I like to stay in touch with them because through their association I am able to deepen my personal realizations more and more. For the sake of ease of association we have banded together as a family known as the Hare Krishna Movement, formally known as ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Being a member of this amazing global family does not mean that one gives up his brain. Rather I have experienced that being connected with ISKCON has a brain enhancing effect. It's something like associating with guitar players to become a better guitar player. It's quite cool actually.

Don't Miss this Rare Opportunity
Take advantage of this rare opportunity of this human form of life. There are 8,400,000 different species of life through which we are rotating lifetime after lifetime. So getting a human body is not an every day affair. This most auspicious opportunity only comes after many millions of lifetimes in the lower species. Anyone who does not utilize their human life for self-realization is making the greatest mistake. When this happens it is the greatest tragedy, and unfortunately today this neglect of the human form has become the standard behavior for the entire human society. What can be done? We must first ourselves become solidly situated in Krishna consciousness and then do the highest welfare activity of spreading to everyone else all over the world.
