Download - The real world
By: Bill Leo
RULE 1 :LIFE IS NOT FAIR – GET USED TO IT!
RULE 2: The REAL world doesn't care about your self-esteem.
RULE 3: The world will expect you to accomplish something
BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
RULE 4: Your chance of making $100,000 a year right out of college is slim to none. You won't be a vice-president with a
company car until you earn both.
RULE 5: If you think your professor is tough, wait till you get a boss.
RULE 6 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. It’s called opportunity.
RULE 7: If you mess up, don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
RULE 8: 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..
RULE 9: Somebody may be watching.
RULE 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
