Dear students, in this YouTube video, there are eleven rules you will never learn in school (attributed not to Bill Gates, but to Charles Sykes in a commencement speech at a high school (see here).

Here is some more advice (also see here and here) and words of wisdom for the young people reading this article.

And if you want to change the world.....
