The main thoughts from the speech of a famous entrepreneur to high school students.
1. Life is not fair, and there is nothing wrong with it
In practice, things are not as hopeless as they sound. I am glad that life is not fair, because it means that I do not need to have what my neighbor or friends have. I don't need to claim the same rights and experience. For example, if they wear glasses, and I do not have them, then in fairness I should also demand glasses. After all, justice for most people means that everyone is free to receive the same, the same opportunity, the same rights and privileges, even the same treatment and respect. So I can also ask for glasses, although I don't need them? This is absurd.
11. You need to be kinder to bespectacled people
Teachers often urge not to offend the nerds and excellent students that are in every class. But rarely does any adult explain why this should be done. It's simple: perhaps in the future one of yesterday's excellent students will become your boss. Are you getting a connection?
