25 Truths Everyone Should Know By 25
7. It will come back to haunt you, so document everything. I
believed you could settle every career dispute verbally and in a casual
fashion. Unfortunately, when someone else’s job is on the line, they
will throw you under the bus. You must have dated and written evidence
(e.g. specific e-mails, signed documents) prepared to defend yourself
effectively. You might only need it once, but it could save your ass…it
has for me.
10. Developing your social skills is critical. This is the
foundation on which to build your personal, professional, and academic
fulfillment. In the real world, it’s not always about what you know but who you
know. You need to learn how to communicate and relate with others in
all aspects of life. These skills can’t be put on the backburner, start
practicing them every day.
12. Being late is no excuse. Expect the unexpected
(Murphy’s Law) and always give yourself extra time. You’re only excused
on the rare chance of an emergency (your car blew a tire, you severely
injured yourself). Otherwise, you are at fault and it’s rude to other
parties. Leaving 15 minutes earlier won’t kill you and will show that
you value other people’s time.
