PROCEED WITH CAUTION
1. Saying I “cant: Saying “I can’t” is an ugly word. The career you choose and the attitude you have will affect your years to come. Never say you “can’t’. You can do anything unless you set your mind to it and try your hardest at it.
2. Getting dollars sings in your eyes: It’s good to finish high school and get good education to get a good paying job. It’s very hard for some people who don’t have education to get a job. So it’s good to have your education.
3. Doing what your parents expect or what you think they expect:
Pick a career that best applies to you. Your parents may assume some expectation about your career. “You should listen to and respect the opinions of your parents, but just remember it’s your life.” Become something you will be happy to do and work with.
4 Assuming a job won’t be useful in building experience: Take any job that is offered to you even it’s not something you’re not planning to become. “Be open to any experience” You will learn how it is to work on time, work under supervision, and solve job-related problems.
