Am in full agreement, especially number 5, I believe in doing what I love, because it is about passion and it makes all the difference between meritocracy and those who excel in their jobs.

This is so right on the nose. I think it should be required reading for all 6th-graders!

I am definitely sending it ono to my kids and nieces and nephews.

Thanks!

Though it’s already been said, this is an excellent posting. All the points that were made are just so true. I know I thought when I finished my Bachelor’s degree that I was going to conquer the world. Then I learned that potential employers in my field wanted real-world experience along with my degree. So, now I am taking my MBA and doing a job that has nothing to do with what I went to college for. You live and learn….hopefully!

You know I really wish that this post would go into every school whether it’s day care or college. Sometimes people take looks and cliques too seriously and that’s whack

I am still in school and wish that someone tells me this everyday. These are things that students need to keep at in the back of there mind as they progress through college. Most of what I have learned has been by doing it myself or by working with my professors and other organizations on camps. Great advice!

Excellent advice. Can I add that success is what you decide? Be it, you are a high powered exec with appropriate salary or running youth help programs for little or no money. Whatever, give it your best.
