1. Buy an alarm clock to awake you in time.
Whenever you are, lingering in bed and impunctuality are both stumbling stones in your career and you should remove them by learning to be on time, or even being ahead of schedule. On your way to a certain place, if you fail to resist the temptation of the beautiful scenery alongside, you'll end up arriving at your destination later than desired. Actually, the "alarm clock" serves as a mere sign or reminder, and the real ability to manipulate and manage time should be mastered by everyone.
2. If you are not satisfied with your current job, leave it or never grumble about it.
Many newly graduates are longing for high position at job while lacking in the required competency. They are also faced with the problem of not willing to run errands while not able to shoulder significant tasks. Therefore, don't be so particular about your tasks that vent your discontent whenever possible. Otherwise, you will fall into a dilemma—— reluctant to take an umbrella in rainy days while not wanting to get wet. Remember, never start a job without the conviction to make it perfect.
3.Loneliness haunts everyone.
Only by enduring loneliness can you grow mature. The young are so accustomed to hanging together chatting and laughing that they can barely afford the sense of loss when faced with various kinds of people in a totally different place. When you find nowhere to confide in, never get annoyed. Try to calm yourself down and endure the lonliness. Learn to meditate in loneliness, grow mature in your sparks of thoughts and refine yourself in maturity. Never get adrift in loneliness, idling time away by doing nothing at all.
4.Always get ready for the stroke of bad luck when things run smoothly.
One day, a fox came to a vine yard,coveting the fresh grapes. But she was seperated from the yard by a fence. Then she made up her mind to lose weight and after three days' fast, she managed to get in and thoroughly satisfied her appetite. However, she failed to get out of the yard for her stomach was stuffed full. I believe no one is willing to be this fox. When moving on, knowing the way back is equally important. We should replenish ourselves with food and prepare ourselves to the bad weather. Step by step, one goes far. Something worthless today may become priceless tomorrow.
5. Don't be as fragile as glass.
Those who concern about nothing but themselves won't have the vision for future; those who keep complaining will make them nuisance to others. You will never know what is sweet without tasting bitterness. Therefore, don't be as fragile as glass, instead, be pure as crystal, brilliant as sunshine, persevering as plum. Since you allow the cool breeze to greet your eyes, don't get cross with the sand within.
6.Mind your tongue.
Never talk too much about yourself at your work place, not to say others. You'll be considered conceit and lose yourself under exaggerated boast about yourself. Discussing about others affairs would engage you into endless trivial gossips. It's not desirable to drink and chat after work with fellow employees, in which your other friends or colleagues are made victims. Coulisse gossip, especially about others' shortcomings will never do good as in the process your quality degrades.
7.Opportunities never "disappear", as your loss is always offset by others' gain.
Never wait for the pie falling from the sky or even count on the so called "chances". "Chances " only befall those who are readily create one and make full preparation for it. Perhaps an “unlucky” guy has already taken your chance when you're ruing for or complaining about losing it. Therefore, you should create the opportunities when there's none and whenever you catch glimpse of one, grasp it with all your wits.
8. If no one calls you, make one yourself.
In many cases, the telephone does not serve as a decorative vase, instead, it provides you with much unexpected gains. Never forget your old friends whenever acquaint with new ones. Friends will help you a lot in your life. Only by initiative can you keep your interpersonal relations last long. Good relations with others and their good comments on you will raise you up on your career ladder.
9. Never make a haste in marriage even if your age urges you to.
You'd better find a soul mate who will always support you if you want to get married. Never treat love as a way of self-indulgence or even games, otherwise you'll pay high price for the haste and failure-stricken marriage. Your lose will overweigh your gain if you fail to control your emotions.
10.Write down what your tasks in your lifetime and put it in your wallet, review it from time to time.
Plan your future according to the goal you've set. Also, it's necessary to urge and remind yourself whenever possible, as your lifetime goal consists of several small aims. Always keep the seemingly tiny sheet in your mind even if everything runs smoothly and in desirable condition.
