My Advice to Students:
Education Counts
莈
Hundreds of students send
me e-mail each year asking for advice about
education.
每年都有数以百计的学生给我发电子
邮件，要我就接受教育给他们提建议。
袅
They want to
know what to study, or whether it's okay to drop
out of college since that's
what I did.
节
螇
他们想知道该学些什么，或者可不可以从大学辍学，因为我就没有
读完大学。
A smaller number of
parents send messages, seeking guidance for their
son or daughter.
也有不少家长给我写信，为子女寻求指导。

他们问
：
“我们怎样才能把孩子引向成功之路？”
My basic advice is simple
and heartfelt: Get the best education you can.
Take advantage of
high school and
college. Learn how to learn.

我的基本忠告很简单，而且是发自内心的：全力获得最佳教育，充分利用高中和大学，学
会如何学习。
It's true that I dropped out of college
to start Microsoft, but I was at Harvard for three
years before dropping out--and I'd love
to have the time to go back.
羀
不错，为创建微软，我未完成大学
学业，不过辍学之前我已经在哈佛呆了三年，而且我真
心希望有一天能重返校园。
羇
As
I've
said
before,
nobody
should
drop
out
of
college
unless
they
believe
they
face
the
opportunity of a lifetime. And even
then they should reconsider.
膃
以前我
也说过，谁也不应该辍学，除非他坚信自己正面临着一个一生仅有一次的机会，但
就算在
那个时候也还是应该深思熟虑。
蒃
Kathy Cridland, a sixth-
grade teacher in Ohio, wrote to say,
that you never finished high school.
Since you are a success, my students perceive that
as a
reason not to care much about
getting a good education.

在俄亥俄州教六年级的老师凯西?
克里德兰写道，
“我的好几个学生声称你根本没有读完高
中。因
为你成功了，我的学生就觉得他们也可以不必要接受良好的教育。
”
肆
I finished
high school!
薂
我高中毕业了的
!
芄
The computer
industry has lots of people who didn't finish
college, but I'm not aware of
any
success stories that began with somebody dropping
out of high school.
蝿
计算机行业中确实有很多人没有读完大学，但是我从来没有见过有谁高中没读完就成功创
业的。
蒈
I actually don't know any
high school dropouts, let alone any successful
ones.
< br>芆
确切地说，我认识的人当中根本没有高中辍学的，更没有高中辍学后事业成功的
。

In
my
company's
early years we
had
a
bright
part-
time
programmer
who
threatened
to
drop out of high school to work full-
time. We told him no.

我的公
司创立早期，有一个相当出色的兼职程序员，声称要从高中辍学来做全职。我们叫
他不要
这么做。
薇
Quite a few of our people
didn't finish college, but we discourage dropping
out.
我们公司里确实有好些人没有读完大学，但我们不
希望人们辍学。
Having a diploma
certainly helps somebody who is looking to us for
a job.
蚅
蒀
蚇
谁要想在我们公司谋职，有毕业证书肯定会优先考虑。
College isn't the
only place where information exists. You can learn
in a library.
不一定只有在大学才能获取信息，在图书馆也可以学习。
But somebody handing you a book doesn't
automatically foster learning.
但人家递给你一本书并不能自动地让你学到东西。
蚅

膁
虿
You want to
learn with other people, ask questions, try out
ideas and have a way to test
your
ability. It usually takes more than just a
book.
