比爾蓋茲的十條【金玉良言】


據權威英國《金融時報》調查：全球25個國家的1000位CEO、基金經理認為：微軟
仍是最受尊敬的公司，並在企業創新、投資價值兩項中排名第一。


調查結果發現：商界舵手最重要的表現，是越來越注重領導的創新能力。在企業增長
方面的突出表現，是穩中求勝的理念轉而改為主動出擊的新思維。

今天的比爾蓋茲成為最受尊敬的商界領袖，其地位和影響力僅次於世界管理學之父杜
拉克。

蓋茲先生在一次講話中，語重心長地講了他的十條忠告，相信會對大家有所啟發。

比爾蓋茲的十條 "金玉良言":

1.社會充滿不公平現象。你先不要想去改造它，只能先適應它。
(因為你管不了它)

2.世界不會在意你的自尊，人們看的只是你的成就。在你沒有成就以前，切勿過分強
調自尊。(因為你越強調自尊，越對你不利)

3.你只是中學畢業，通常不會成為CEO，直到你把CEO職位拿到手為止。
(直到此時，人們才不會介意你只是中學畢業)

4.當你陷入人為困境時，不要抱怨，你只能默默地吸取教訓。
(你要悄悄地振作起來，重新奮起)

5.你要懂得：在沒有你之前，你的父母並不像現在這樣 "乏味"。你應該想到，這是他
們為了撫養你所付出的巨大代價。(你永遠要感恩和孝敬他們，才是硬道理)

6.在學校裡，你考第幾名已不是那麼重要，但進入社會卻不然。不管你去到哪裡，都
要分等排名。 (社會、公司要排名次，是常見的事，要鼓起勇氣競爭才對)

7.學校裡有假日，到公司打工則不然，你幾乎不能休息，很少能輕鬆地過假日。
(否則你職業生涯中一起跑就落後了，甚至會讓你永遠落後)

8.在學校，老師會幫助你學習，到公司卻不會。如果你認為學校的老師要求你很嚴
格，那是你還沒有進入公司工作。因為，如果公司對你不嚴厲，你就要失業了。
(你必須清醒地認識到：公司比學校更要嚴格要求自己)

9.人們都喜歡看電視劇，但你不要看，那並不是你的生活。只要在公司工作，你是
無暇看電視劇的。
(奉勸你不要看，否則你走上看電視連續劇之路，而且看得津津有味，那你將失去
成功的資格)

10.永遠不要在背後批評別人，尤其不能批評你的老板無知、刻薄和無能。
(因為這樣的心態，會使你走上坎坷艱難的成長之路)

這十條金科玉律般的職工座右銘，我建議作為職工必讀的經典之作。要把它張貼在
自己工作生活的牆上，經常閱讀反省，對我們大有好處。比爾蓋茲之成為最受尊敬的
人，成為近十年 "世界首富"，恐怕一個重要道理正在於此。

大家放眼望去會發現：大凡成功者，在談到成功時，很少談 "做事"，而都在講
"做人"。因為不會做人，就不會做事，就會走上無為的一生，或走上大起大落坎坷
艱難的不歸之路。

著名經濟學家茅于軾先生說：「要在三四十歲思考人生，七老八十再想用處就
不大了。」人，出生入死要深思！才是大道理。

Rules for Students

These rules were put forth by Charles Sykes in his book "Dumbing Down
America". They have floated through the Internet being attributed to Bill
Gates. Most often they appear with 11 rules leaving off three that the
original author had written.

Rule No. 1: Life is not fair. Get used to it. The average teen-ager uses
the phrase "It's not fair" 8.6 times a day. You got it from your parents,
who said it so often you decided they must be the most idealistic
generation ever. When they started hearing it from their own kids, they
realized Rule No. 1.

Rule No. 2: The real world won't care as much about your self-esteem
as much as your school does. It'll expect you to accomplish something
before you feel good about yourself. This may come as a shock. Usually,
when inflated self-esteem meets reality, kids complain that it's not fair.
(See Rule No. 1)

Rule No. 3: Sorry, you won't make $40,000 a year right out of high
school. And you won't be a vice president or have a car phone either. You
may even have to wear a uniform that doesn't have a Gap label.

Rule No. 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait 'til you get a boss.
He doesn't have tenure, so he tends to be a bit edgier. When you screw
up, he's not going to ask you how you feel about it.

Rule No. 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your
grandparents had a different word for burger flipping. They called it
opportunity. They weren't embarrassed making minimum wage either.
They would have been embarrassed to sit around talking about Kurt
Cobain all weekend.

Rule No. 6: It's not your parents' fault. If you screw up, you are
responsible. This is the flip side of "It's my life," and "You're not the boss
of me," and other eloquent proclamations of your generation. When you
turn 18, it's on your dime. Don't whine about it, or you'll sound like a
baby boomer.

Rule No. 7: Before you were born your parents weren't as boring as
they are now. They got that way paying your bills, cleaning up your room
and listening to you tell them how idealistic you are. And by the way,
before you save the rain forest from the blood-sucking parasites of your
parents' generation, try delousing the closet in your bedroom.

Rule No. 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers.
Life hasn't. In some schools, they'll give you as many times as you want
to get the right answer. Failing grades have been abolished and class
valedictorians scrapped, lest anyone's feelings be hurt. Effort is as
important as results. This, of course, bears not the slightest resemblance
to anything in real life. (See Rule No. 1, Rule No. 2 and Rule No. 4.)

Rule No. 9: Life is not divided into semesters, and you don't get
summers off. Not even Easter break. They expect you to show up every
day. For eight hours. And you don't get a new life every 10 weeks. It just
goes on and on. While we're at it, very few jobs are interested in
fostering your self-expression or helping you find yourself. Fewer still
lead to self-realization. (See Rule No. 1 and Rule No. 2.)

Rule No. 10: Television is not real life. Your life is not a sitcom. Your
problems will not all be solved in 30 minutes, minus time for
commercials. In real life, people actually have to leave the coffee shop to
go to jobs. Your friends will not be as perky or pliable as Jennifer Aniston.

Rule No. 11: Be nice to nerds. You may end up working for them. We all
could.

Rule No. 12: Smoking does not make you look cool. It makes you look
moronic. Next time you're out cruising, watch an 11-year-old with a butt
in his mouth. That's what you look like to anyone over 20. Ditto for
"expressing yourself" with purple hair and/or pierced body parts.

Rule No. 13: You are not immortal. (See Rule No. 12.) If you are under
the impression that living fast, dying young and leaving a beautiful
corpse is romantic, you obviously haven't seen one of your peers at room
temperature lately.

Rule No. 14: Enjoy this while you can. Sure parents are a pain, school's
a bother, and life is depressing. But someday you'll realize how wonderful
it was to be a kid. Maybe you should start now. You're welcome.

股市慘跌　世界首富比爾蓋茲損失120億美金

更新日期:2008/12/06 01:47


美國遭遇金融海嘯，不少人財產縮水，就連曾是世界首富的比爾蓋茲也不例外，他在
接受CNN專訪的時候，坦承在近來的確損失些金錢，根據美國浮華世界雜誌的估算，
這「一些」錢大約為120億美金。不過蓋茲也表示，他還將會把數百億美元，捐給自己
的慈善基金會。

世界首富比爾蓋茲在接受CNN專訪時坦承，因為金融海嘯席捲美國，讓他手中持有的
股票市值縮水，財產也跟著縮水，他只能安慰自己再過去一年的股市裡學到很多東
西。根據浮華世界雜誌的估計，他近一年來在股市中損失達到120億美元，是他580億
美元財產的1/5。

不過他也表示，手邊還有的數百億資產將會留給與妻子梅琳達所成立的慈善基金會。
這個基金會在世界各地從事愛滋病和農業等公益活動，也因此讓他對生化科技相當感
興趣，認為疫苗的重要性足可以和電腦相比，是奇蹟般的科技。

另外，比爾蓋茲也以過來人的身份建議年輕人，投資自己是最重要的事，畢竟投資股
市財產會縮水，但投資自己擁有更豐富的知識和才能，卻是永遠不會消失的資產。
