The Daisy Field

Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! 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,

I love you! and I appreciate having you in my life! I thought today I should take a quick moment and remind you that you are a special person and you play a special part in my life. No...really...you...it doesn't matter what our stage of friendship/family/whatever is. You are a valued member of my life. You listen, or you support or you just are. I want you to know that i prayed for you today, and that i hope you have everything you need! Thanks for being a part of my life no matter how big or small that role is. I hope that I can be a blessing in your life. Just a reminder fron me to you, that you are special and you have an effect on people...not just me. Its a reminder to all of us that we are perfectly flawed and perfectly made to fit together just the way we do! Thanks for loving me as flawed as I am! Tara
