WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS COURSE?

YOUR ASSUMPTIONS... Needless requirement This class diverts you from your goal YOUR GOAL: A degree that lets you make Your degree will directly = your life goal.

THE FALLACIES OF YOUR ASSUMPTIONS College ≠ training College = education “educated:... Cultivated, cultured...” Your ultimate job probably won’t have anything to do with your undergraduate degree.

THE REAL PURPOSE OF THIS COURSE This is a “gate keeper” class. It provides context and a way of understanding who and what you are. This stuff—and a lot more—is on the Praxis Test.

SOME OF BILL GATES’S RULES Life is not fair – get used to it. 2. The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. 4. You think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. 8. Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT.

The rest of the world is not like us. Why?

“So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.” SUN TZU c. 500 BCE

REQUIREMENTS: By Friday: Read and understand everything on the website Text Chapters 1 and 2
