Dispute what oldsters seem to think, school is not exactly a "feel good" spot where every child learns they are special. Quite the contrary. If you have a kid in elementary school you would know this. Programs may be in place but human nature, and the kids themselves, make sure some universal "lessons" are learned.
Let me explain something to you friend .... effective "motivational speeches" are usually geared toward "positive" messages, not slaps in the face, and outright hostility toward those you intend to motivate.
Golly gee whiz, I struck a nerve, folks.
If one cannot hear the bad with the good, how can one be informed?
I'll take that as a complement seeing that I've found considerable success in my life living by these exact tenets.
The financial collapse won't hit me and didn't hit me in 2008 because I saw ahead. You can always think one step ahead of the government, the financial system, and even Bill Gates.
You're an Island as well as a legend ..... I got news for you, you are neither, and you have no insulation from what is on the horizon. You may be in a position to suffer less than some others ... but let me tell you, that also makes you a prime target of those suffering the most.
I can see there is one other tenant you embrace ... "I've got mine, so the hell with the rest". This is self delusion ... you can have a Million in the bank, and when the dollar collapses, you'll have what everyone else has. If you have stocks, bonds, gold or silver coming out of your ears, they won't do you much good at dinner time, cuz you can't eat it and you can't drink it. If you have hundreds of acres of land that you can grow your own plentiful food supply, it won't be long before you have loads of company helping you distribute it.

By labeling them garbage, I did. And I'm surprised you weren't able to decipher the code??? And that holds true just as much for those embracing them as the one who wrote them.

Ah ha ... an academic with a thorough grasp of the "Real World"!!! This explains much. Do you really want to know what your post graduate studies will accomplish? You'll learn more and more about less and less, until you know absolutely everything about nothing at all. In this regard, you may be very successful.

Progressive? PROGRESSIVE??? ME?? That's a belly laugher. I'm as close to being a progressive as a lion is to being a vegetarian. No, a lion is closer I think. Wow ... isn't elementary command of the english language and meanings of words required for post graduate degrees these days?? I know any moron can graduate with a BS and not even be able to speak lucidly, but I thought the standard for PhD was slightly higher. In any case, I would recommend, at a minimum, you not do your dissertation on modern politics and philosophy.
Hahaha ... this reminds me of my EX .... she had a PhD in Communications-Statistical Analysis ..... Her idea of communications was for her to talk incessantly, while everyone else listened. And as far as analysis was concerned, she could prove to you how the sun was unlikely to rise in the morning ... statistically.
A neighbor of ours just received her doctorate in psychology last year ... she's a 5'4" 350 Lb lesbian with more "Issues" than the congress of the United States. Hahaha ... I mean, talking with here on just about any subject for more than 3 minutes required psychiatric debriefing and a prescription.
Now, I'm sure you may be wondering what planet I'm actually from .... and you know what? That same thought crosses my mind almost every day ... as I fail to see how I could have possibly originated from this one.
Let's fill in some of the space between the lines here:
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!
1) Read: If your last name doesn't grant you life long privilege ... you are just another slave .... and it will do you no good to whine about it.
Rule 2: The world doesn't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
2) Read: You have no intrinsic value as a human being ... your value is determined solely by the Plutocracy and your ability/willingness to serve us.
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.
3) Read: Go to college, but don't expect it to land you a decent paying job, and forget paying off your student loans until you are 45 .... (but make sure you make enough money to continue buying my crappy Microsoft products that still have the same inherent flaws they did 20 years ago, so that I can continue adding Billions to my port folio.)
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
4) Read: refer to Rule #2 .... if you think you are worthless now in the eyes of the Elitists like me ... wait till we have direct control over you. School was just subordination training ... the real subordination starts later.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.
5) Read: Since we are in the final stages of off shoring all of the previously good paying jobs to China and India, you'd better learn to love flipping hamburgers, because that's probably the only "flipping" job that will be available to you after you graduate with your business degree.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
6) Read: We have structured the society in order to require both your parents to work like slaves just to make ends meet ... they didn't have time to raise you, or instill in you the belief that you are a unique and talented human being that can accomplish anything you set your powerful mind to. Consequently, you are left to believe exactly what we tell you to believe in the 1-12th grades of the government run indoctrination centers your parents believed was education.
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.
7) Read: Over the years, your parents have been worn down trying to make a better life ... now they face the prospect of working until they die just to survive ... their retirement and pension funds have been diluted or stolen altogether ... don't be critical of them. They were doing the best they could in a system designed for them to fail. Just wait till you experience what we have in store for you ... (as I have clearly outlined in the new rules).
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.
8) Read: You are entering a world of winner take all, and the majority (losers like you) must accept your place in it. It's not so bad really ... buy my crappy Microsoft products ... these things will help take your mind off of the royal screwing you are going to receive at the hands of valuable members of society like ME, your master.
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.
9) Say goodbye to the 12 years of fantasy fraud foisted upon you ... it was a big lie. Sorry about your luck. If you don't like McDonalds or Burger King as career options, there's always the Military ... where you can see the world, and learn valuable life skills such as killing strangers in far off lands on command.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
10) OK, OK .... there are NO JOBS anymore ... but axiom is still true in theory ... though you probably should take advantage of those hot spots in the coffee shops to access the internet with your new Microsoft virus friendly laptops I'm all to happy to sell you. There, you will be able to submit your resume online for free ... not that it's likely to do you any good ... but nothing beats a try but a failure. In the end, remember ... what ever difficulties you might face ... it's your own fault ... remember that ... it's YOUR FAULT because you are stupid, whiney little SOBs that deserve exactly whatever it is you get. If this seems a little unfair to you .... refer back to rule #1.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
11) Read: You know the old sayin' dontcha? He who laughs last, laughs best? Well look who isn't laughing now! That's right, you little scumbag useless eaters who teased me in school .... there is a new game in town, and I'm it. And I'll have you know that I never forget! That's why I'm all too happy to donate a few Hundred Million dollars to the World Health Organization to help fund the sterilization and de-population agenda. Now who's laughing .... hmmm? That's right baby, it's me ... laughing all the way to the bank ....
===============================
And you all would glorify this piece of elitist filth and his anti-human lunatic rantings ? What a great motivational speech indeed. But it could be summed up in far fewer words like:
"Resistance is Futile ... you will be assimilated"
There is a special place in hell reserved for this degenerate multi-Billionaire eugenist scumbag. And I dare say, lot's of company too ... he won't be lonely, that's for sure.
Wow.
Someone sure has a chip on their shoulder.
Or an axe to grind.
Or one of any of the dozen or so popular idioms that immediately spring to the forefront.

I like this version of #11 a lot more than the original - I actually did laugh out loud ... for real. I give it: +
If one cannot hear the bad with the good, how can one be informed?
No one is being hostile telling it like it is.
Who says that's how it is? I say it's garbage ... propaganda of the first order.
What ever cognitive dissonance might be present in young people today is a product of intentional creation, and brought about by a political, financial and societal structure that has never seen such levels of corruption and a lack of integrity as we witness today.
Couple that with the intentional damage to normal brain function (which is clearly affecting more than just the youth of this country) brought about by heavy metal poisoning, including mercury, lead, and aluminum, and the well documented neurological effects of such, exacerbated by the addition of fluoridated water to the mixture, and topped off by the chemicals and lack of nutrients in the food .... it's no wonder that the IQ of the general public has actually dropped over the past two decades ... which, by the way IS documented.
Couple all of this with the lack of positive role models, and a system that teaches that the only crime in business today is getting caught, and even then, the payout is greater than the penalty.
What do young people actually see today? They see their own parents worse off than they were 20 years ago, and how dim their own future prospects really are if the current course of the country is maintained ... and no sight of positive change in the offing.
You don't think they are smart enough to recognize and understand what is going on? Some of them don't, but a lot of them are realizing the rude reality of what they are facing .... lack of good paying jobs after they graduate from school with a mountain of debt ... constant bombardment of war, disaster, and financial crisis .... with all the talking heads on the news telling them that it's likely going to get worse before it gets any better? The very idea of raising a family and owning a home is not even part of the equation for most young people today ... they're just wondering IF they will ever find a job, and if they do, will that job allow them the ability to be even moderately self sufficient in an economy that is growing in hostility to all but the fortunate few.
Then THIS STEAMING PILE is thrown on top, admonishing young people about being whiners and losers, telling them how they need to cowboy up and embrace their new roles in society as junior, progressing to senior executive level burger flippers, while the gangsters telling them this nonsense, loot the joint.
And this is applauded by whom? The same idiots that have allowed this nation to be dismantled piece by piece under their un-watchful eyes, that's who.
Those who's political activism is totally absorbed in ensuring two men can dress up in pink gowns and ride off in a carriage to honeymoon in Cozumel while wars are raging and gangsters are looting the economy.
Those who voted for Bush TWICE are just as responsible as those fawning all over that usurper that now infests the White House, as if he were a rock star or the second coming of Jesus Christ. And, this includes all of the voters who continue to elect the same criminal degenerates, term after term after term in congress ... because they've done such a great job over the past 20 years.
These are the types that embrace this nonsense of chastising the youth who, unlike many of their elders, fully recognize how rigged the game is. Their refusal to participate is not a sign of laziness or being spoiled ... it is indeed a sign of common sense.
For it is the dummy that continues playing a fixed game, expecting to win. All that does is lend credibility to the lie ... and I applaud those who say the hell with this ... I'm not going to legitimize this fraud by playing a rigged game.
It's not surprising that so many would mistake this demonstration of common sense for something else, since they are so unfamiliar with what common sense looks like.
Or one of any of the dozen or so popular idioms that immediately spring to the forefront.
One of those idioms could be "sick and tired of being sick and tired". Or, it could be just a plain old fashioned expression of "Calling a spade a spade".
You may think it represents a chip on the shoulder, or an axe to grind, and you're entitled to your opinion.
But until you point to any one of these items and show where they are wrong or faulty in assessment, it will remain an uneducated opinion.
I'll be happy to debate you on any of the listed items .... have at it.
Rule 2: The world doesn'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.

wrench409 !!! ... Indeed These little Gems Deserve Quoting !
Number Three most assuridly applies to so many of the whiney "Liberal Loons" ! Also Number Eight fits these "Puddin Heads" like a glove !
It appears that Old Bill G. may have been speaking directly to those nice little liberal folks !
A neighbor of ours just received her doctorate in psychology last year ... she's a 5'4" 350 Lb lesbian with more "Issues" than the congress of the United States. Hahaha ...

350 lb? That woman needs some psychiatric counseling! That's way too much woman for one woman!

All of your responses to the originally posted list are wrong, faulty & an uneducated opinion. How ya like them apples?
Seriously, get over yourself. The woe is me attitude is pure crap ... and everything you posted smacks of someone who has entitlement issues. And has suddenly emerged from the cocoon and coddling of the education system only to have the snot smacked out of them and been put into their proper place ... which is the starting block of entry level salaries, entry level responsibilities and entry level housing.
