1 The Bishop s School, Camp Extracts from The Principal, CEO & Hon. Secretary s Speech at the Class X and XII Farewell 2011 Quotations & Stories from various sources - highlights life after School LAW OF THE GARBAGE TRUCK How often to you let other people s nonsense change your mood??? Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitive employee ruin your day? However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly one can get back their focus on what s important. David J Pollay explains his story in this way Sixteen years ago, I learned this lesson. I learned it in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Here s what happened. I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car s back end by just inches! The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, whipped his head around and he started yelling and abusing at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean..he was friendly. So I said, Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital! And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, THE LAW OF THE GARBAGE TRUCK. Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it. And if you let them, they ll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don t take it personally. You just smile, wave, wish them well and move on. You ll be happy you did. I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people: at work, at home, on the streets? It was that day I said, I m not going to do it anymore. Life s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. Love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don t. Believe that everything happens for a reason. Never let the garbage truck run over you.have a great day! Never let the garbage trucks run over you.. ********** ALWAYS BE YOUR BEST! When you think it doesn t matter if you fail or pass the test, Keep in mind the reason why you should always be your best. While the whole world may not notice if you tried to give your all, There is a person in you to whom it matters if you fall. That little voice inside you which directs your thoughts each day, Will make the final judgment if you won or lost each day. Never can you fail yourself if you give it all you ve got, The world extends a hand to you when you give life your best shot. For all that really matters when you re finished with your test, Is not the final score at all- But did you do your best? - TOM KRAUSE

2 The Bishop s School, Camp Extracts of The Principal, CEO & Hon.Secretary s Speech on Class X and XII Farewell 2011 ENJOY THE COFFEE MOBILE PRAYER RULE 3 You will NOT make $ 60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with car phone, until you earn both. A group of Alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old University lecturer. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said: If you noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other s cups! Now, if Life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in Society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn t change. Our Cell phone who art in everyone s pocket, Hallowed be thy balance, Thy recharge be done On credit, if not in cash. Give us this day our daily top-up And forgive us our missed calls, As we forgive those who give us missed calls. Bring us not into zero balance, But deliver all our messages. For thine is the tower, The network & the coverage For Ever & Ever. AMEN. -- Bill Gates Rules RULE 4 If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. RULE 5 Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping they called it Opportunity. RULE 6 If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them. RULE 7 Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room. RULE 8 Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life. RULE 9 Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it. So folks, don t let the cups drive you enjoy the cof- RULE 1 Life is not fair - get used to it. RULE 2 The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good RULE 10 Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. RULE 11 Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for The Principal thanks his wellwishers who sent him these messages to share with his students.
