It's an excerpt from the book "Dumbing Down our Kids" by educator Charles Sykes.
It is a list of eleven things you did not learn in school and directed at high school and college grads.
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 40 thousand dollars a year right out
of high school. You won't be a vice president with
car phone, until you earn both.
RULE 4
If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a
boss. He doesn't have tenure.
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 are. 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.
關於規則一:「人生本來就是不公平的,只能習慣吧。」
所以這位Charles Sykes大師苦口婆心教訓普天之下善男信女的信條不過就是「保守」二字箴言爾爾。
所以這世界呈現這樣的樣態千年之後也是不變持續直到宇宙消滅,
所以從小師長諄諄教誨以身作則學生洗耳恭聽蕭規曹隨,
所以儘管這社會荒謬可笑吾輩僅能裝聾作啞,
所以如同米蘭昆德拉所言一切都被預先被原諒了一切皆可笑地被允許了,
所以革命不過是請客吃飯和理論研討論文生產而已,
所以馬克思列寧的命運終究要被掃進歷史的灰燼之中,
所以教授滿嘴仁義道德私下狗屁倒灶剝削學生報假帳就跟汽修工隨身攜帶扳手一樣都是很正常的。
以上。關於在政大念了六年書的感想。
