I received an email the other day that had attributed "11 things they did not teach you in school" to Bill Gates. While the list is interesting, I thought I would check it out before posting it here. This is what I found, along with the list for those who've not seen this before.

Do not be disappointed. You may be surprised that Bill Gates has written something very similar that I found in my search (This is a document from Microsoft). See

Not bad.

Both pieces are true. The one by Bill Gates has real relevance to myself as I attend a college focused on the liberal arts and he stressed throughout about seeking a breadth in your education. I feel that this is important and I applaud the ISI for advocating it and supporting it. The liberal arts is a foundation for life that will allow you to build as high as you can go, as you will be secure with knowledge in many varying subjects.


"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

President Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)
