这世界指望你在自我感觉良好之前先要有所成就。你不会成为一个公司的副总裁，并拥有一部装有电话的汽车，直到你将此职位和汽车电话都争到手。老板可是没有任期限制的。你的祖父母对烙牛肉饼可有不同的定义;他们称它为机遇。这和生活中任何事情没有一点相似之处。

8. Your school may have done away with winners and lisers,but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades;they'll give you as many times as your want to got the right answer.This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life.
