You need to stop spreading the blame around and take responsibility for your failures. Many people are caught up in their mommy and daddy issues, and they let their life mess up in the process, and we as humans always look someone to blame and in this case the parents. Stop throwing stones on others.

Everyone will always find ways to extort money from you. Cops will pull you over even if you were only going two miles over the speed limit and give you a $300 ticket. Your health insurance will find a way to bill you a few thousand more dollars than they need to. People will try to steal your credit card information. People will not pay you back. You will never be taught about this in your academics, you will learn it with experiences and by reading about it. Just know this, and be prepared for it. That pretty much goes for everything.

5. Life is not divided into semesters

rules of life

Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In school, you will get a chance until you pass the stage but it is not the case in real life. When you are out in the real world where your fate or survival is in your own hands, you don’t always get second chances. The real world won’t give you time off to recoup your strength. Once life starts it just goes on and on, and on. Be sure and confident about your choices and learn from others who have the knowledge about it. Live each and every moment and build firm foundations for your life, make your own way through this world.

4. You will not make six-figure salary right after school

rules of life

It takes time, you can’t be everything you ever wanted to be overnight.

You will surely get what you have worked hard for and you will continually progress towards your goal. Grow slow! Be big!

3. Almost everything is political

rules of life

Everyone is going to have their own agenda. Maybe you were fired because your boss owed someone a favor. Or maybe your co-worker was promoted instead of you because your manager just likes him or her better than you. There are literally no rules to prevent this from happening. Assume that everyone has ulterior motives. Just work hard for yourself and keep your eyes open for such circumstances.

2. Television is not real life 

rules of life

Life seems a lot easier on TV than it is in real life. In real life people have to get up early in the morning and leave for their work. Entertainment is important but not compulsory. Living a better life is compulsory. Think from your own brain and you have to stop falling for the traps set by the media and it is not compulsory to always go with the flow and copy whatever everyone is doing. Stay away from your Television, if locks you in the prison of deceptions.

1. Don’t burn your bridges

rules of life

Career-wise, it’s always smart to keep in contact with everyone you have worked for and with. You never know when that individual will help you out, and if you’ve treated them like crap in the past, don’t expect them to do anything for you. Be nice to others. However, some of your bridges just aren’t worth keeping. And if that’s the case, may the bridges you burn light your way!

Conclusion:

You will learn a lot in school but that is only to get grades in your academics, the real life lessons are what you learn out of your experience with one on one interactions with different people. They make you learn what life is really all about and if you have got it right, you will get to your goals no matter what!
