1%26#46; 生活是不公平的，你要去适应它。
2%26#46; 这个世界并不会在意你的自尊，而是要求你在自我感觉良好之前先有所成就。
3%26#46; 刚从学校走出来的时候不可能一年挣4万美元，更不会成为哪家公司的副总裁，还拥有一部汽车，直到你将这些都挣到手的那一天。
4%26#46; 如果你认为学校里的老师过于严厉，那么等你有了老板再回头想一想。
5%26#46; 卖汉堡包并不会有损于你的尊严。你的祖父对卖汉堡包有着不同的理解，他们称之为“机遇”。
6%26#46; 如果你陷入困境，那不是你父母的过错，不要将你理应承担的责任转嫁给他人，而要学着从中吸取教训。
7%26#46; 在你出生之前，你的父母并不像现在这样乏味。他们变成今天这个样子是因为这些年来一直为你付账单，给你洗衣服，听你谈你有多酷。所以，在对父母喋喋不休之前，还是先去打扫一下你自己的屋子吧。
8%26#46; 你所在学校也许已经不再分优等生和劣等生，但生活并不如此。在某些学校已经有了“不及格”的概念，学校会不断地给你机会让你进步，然而现实生活完全不是这样的。
9%26#46; 走出学校后的生活不像在学校一样有学期之分，也没有暑假之说。没有几位老板乐于帮你发现自我，你必须依靠自己去完成。
10%26#46; 电视中的许多场景决不是真实的生活。在现实生活中，人们必须埋头做自己的工作，而并不像电视里演的那样天天泡在咖啡馆里。
