Answer 1

Hundreds of students send me e-mail each year asking for advice about education. They want to know what to study, or whether it's okay to drop out of college since that's what I did.
A smaller number of parents send messages, often poignant, seeking guidance for their son or daughter. How can we steer our child toward success they ask.
My basic advice is simple and heartfelt: Get the best education you can. Take advantage of high school and college. Learn how to learn.
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. 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.
Kathy Cridland, a sixth-grade teacher in Ohio, wrote to say,Several of my students claim 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. I finished high school!
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. I actually don't know any high school dropouts, let alone any successful ones.
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.
Quite a few of our people didn't finish college, but we discourage dropping out. Having a diploma certainly helps somebody who is looking to us for a job.
College isn't the only place where information exists. You can learn in a library. But somebody handing you a book doesn't automatically foster learning. 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.
Education should be broad, although it's fine to have deep interests, too.
In high school there were periods when I was highly focused on writing software, but for most of my high school years I had wide-ranging academic interests. My parents encouraged this, and I'm grateful that they did.
Although I attended a lot of different kinds of classes in college, I signed up for only one computer class the whole time. I read about all kinds of things.
One parent wrote me that her 15-year-old son lost himself in the hole of the computer. He got an A in website design, but other grades were sinking, she said.
This boy is making a mistake. High school and college offer you the best chance to learn broadly—math, history, various sciences—and to do projects with other kids that teach you first-hand about group dynamics. It's fine to take a deep interest in computers, dance, language, or any other discipline, but not if it jeopardizes breadth.
I think kids sometimes trap themselves into a narrow identity. I wonder if they've just decided,Okay, I'm the person who's good at accounting. A friend asks,Hey, what have you been reading? Well, I'm reading about accounting.
It's just their sort of self-definition, and it's probably comfortable for them. But it's unfortunate if it comes at the sacrifice of learning about the broader world, or learning to work cooperatively.
I'm as impressed as the next person is when an 11-year-old can do calculus. He or she is learning to think logically. But a kid who is reading about Robinson Crusoe is thinking logically, too. It's not completely different.
If you fall into an obsessive pattern in high school, you've got two problems. One is that you're unlikely to change when you go to college. The other is that if you don't get reasonably good grades, it's hard to get into a college that has the highly motivated, capable students who can really help you learn about the world.
In college it's appropriate to think about specialization. Getting real expertise in an area of interest can lead to success—unless the specialty ends up being a dead end or you're not good at. Graduate school is one way to get specialized knowledge, although extended college education isn't always a good investment from a purely economic standpoint. Choosing a specialty isn't something high school students should worry about. They should worry about getting a strong academic start.
There's not a perfect correlation between attitudes in high school and success in later life, of course.
But it's a real mistake not to take the opportunity to learn a huge range of subjects, and to learn to work with people in high school, and to get the grades that will help you get into a good college.
数以百计的学生给我发电子邮件，询问教育每年。他们想知道该学些什么，或者它是否是好退学的大学生，因为我就是这样做的。
有不少家长给我写信，常常痛苦，为子女寻求指导。我们怎样才能引导孩子走向成功，他们问。
我的建议简单而诚挚：你能够得到最好的教育。充分利用高中和大学。学习如何学习。
这是真的，我从大学退学开始微软，但我是在哈佛大学为三年前退出，我想有时间回去。就像我之前说的，谁也不应该辍学，除非他们相信他们面临着一生中难得的机会。甚至他们应该重新考虑。
凯茜Cridland，六分之一年级的老师在俄亥俄州，写信说，我的几个学生说你没念完高中。因为你成功了，我的学生认为作为一个理由不在乎接受良好的教育。我高中毕业了！
计算机行业中确实有很多人没有读完大学，但我不知道任何成功的故事开始有人退学了。我真的不知道任何高辍学，更遑论任何成功的。
在我的公司的早期，我们有一个光明的兼职程序员谁威胁要退出高中全职工作。我们告诉他。
我们有不少人没有读完大学，但我们不鼓励退学。有一个文凭，有人希望我们的工作。
大学不是唯一获取知识的地方。你可以在图书馆学习。但有人递给你一本书并不能自动促进学习。你需要向别人学习，问问题，尝试的想法和有办法来测试你的能力。它通常需要更多的不仅仅是一本书。
教育应该是广泛的，虽然有深刻的利益很好，太。
在高中时我是高度集中的写作软件，但我大部分的高中年我有广泛的学术兴趣。我的父母鼓励，我很感谢他们。
虽然我参加了很多不同的课程，在大学，我只选修了一门计算机课的全部时间。我看过的所有东西。
有位家长写信说，她15岁的儿子失去了自己在该洞的电脑。他得到一个一在网站设计，但其他成绩很沉，她说。
这个孩子犯了一个错误。高中和大学给你提供学习广泛的数学，历史上最好的机会，各种科学和与其他的孩子教你做项目团队动态的手。它的罚款，对计算机感兴趣，舞蹈，语言，或任何其他的学科，但是不能危及广度。
我觉得孩子们有时会陷入一个狭窄的身份。我不知道他们是否已经决定了，好吧，我擅长于会计。一个朋友问，嘿，你看了什么书呢？嗯，我读会计。
正是他们的这种自我定义，它可能为他们舒适。但不幸的是如果它在牺牲了学习更广泛的世界，或者学习如何互相合作。
我和别人一样感到印象深刻的是当一个11岁会做微积分。他或她学习逻辑思维。但是一个孩子谁是阅读鲁滨孙漂流记是逻辑思维，太。这不是完全不同。
如果你陷入在高中痴迷的模式，你有两个问题。一是你不可能改变当你去上大学。另一方面，如果你没有得到合理的好成绩，进入一所大学，有很高的积极性是很难的，有能力的学生谁可以真正帮助你了解这个世界。
在大学可以适当考虑专业的。在感兴趣的领域获取真正的知识才会成功，除非这个专业选择了一条死胡同或你不擅长。读研究生是获取专业知识的一个途径，虽然延长了大学教育并不总是从纯经济的角度来看，一个好的投资。选择一个专业不是高中生应该担心。他们应该担心一个强大的学术开始。
有没有在之后的高中生活和成功的态度之间的完全相关，当然。
但不抓住机会学习广泛的科目则是真正的错误，并学习在高中的人工作，并取得成绩，将帮助你进入好的大学。
