如果你認為你的老師嚴厲,等你有了老板再這樣想。老板可是沒有任期限製的。
Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Yourgrandparentshad a different word for burger flipping; they calleditopportunity.
烙牛肉餅並不有損你的尊嚴。你的祖父母對烙牛肉餅可有不同的定義;他們稱它為機遇。
If you mess up, its not your parents fault, so dont whineaboutour mistakes, learn from them.
如果你陷入困境,那不是你父母的過錯,所以不要尖聲抱怨我們的錯誤,要從中吸取教訓。

生活不分學期。你並沒有暑假可以休息,也沒有幾位雇主樂於幫你發現自我。自己找時間做吧。
Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually havetoleave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
電視並不是真實的生活。在現實生活中,人們實際上得離開咖啡屋去幹自己的工作。

善待乏味的人。有可能到頭來你會為一個乏味的人工作。
