Before getting into specific strategies or mindsets, I would like you to consider the following answers provided by Bill Gates, the wealthiest man in the world, when questioned about his success:
1. Life isn’t fair-get used to it.
2. The world doesn’t care about your self esteem, it expects you to accomplish something before feeling good about yourself.
3. You won’t make 60K a year right out of high school or be vice president of a cell phone company. You have to earn it.
4. Do you think your teacher is tough? Wait till you have a boss-he’s not tenured.
5. Flipping burgers isn’t beneath you, your grandparents called it opportunity.
6. Your parents weren’t always boring; it came from feeding you, cleaning your clothes, and paying your bills. So before you rush out to save the rain forest from the “parasites” of your parents generation, try delousing your own closet.
7. Some schools may have abolished winners and losers, but life hasn’t. They may have eradicated “failing grades” and given you as long as you want to get the right answer. This bears no resemblance to reality.
8. Life isn’t divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off. Employers aren’t interested in helping you find yourself, you do that on your own time.
9. Unlike television, real people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to work.
10. Be nice to nerds, chances are you’ll end up working for one someday.
No shortcuts. You’ve got to work for it!
