The following post is taken directly from one of my hand-printed Reader's Journal. I will be sharing these reflections each week on the Rivera Runs Through It blog. The date at the end of each post is the date of the original writing, which is typically the date I completed the book. The reflections are short, but represent my initial reactions to a book, a brief summary of the book or the questions it raised for me at the time. I hope you enjoy this segment in my blog and feel free to comment on what you read here.
Ten Things I Wish I'd Known Before I Went Out Into The Real World by Maria Shriver
This book was based on a speech Maria Shriver gave at a college graduation. It was fantastic. Here are the ten things:
- Pinpoint your passion
- No job is beneath you
- Who you work for and with is as important as what you do
- Your behavior has consequences
- Be willing to fail
- Superwoman is dead... and Superman may be taking Viagra
- Children do change your career (not to mention your entire life)
- Marriage is a hell of a lot of work
- Don't expect anyone else to support you financially, and
- Laughter
What would you put on YOUR list of things you wish you knew before you went out into the real world?
