Here are some real-life rules that Charles Sykes wrote to students…
1. Life is not fair; get used to it.
2. The world won’t care about your self-esteem.
3. If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
4. Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.
5. If you screw up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes. Learn from them.
6. Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off, spring and winter breaks, and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
7. Television is NOT real life.
