Invaders' Maxims from the Invaders' Book of Reality.......(modified from Bill Gates' Book):
For college graduates (post-grads have already or are in the process of learning the truth), here is a list of 11 things they did not teach you on campus in the "feel-good", "politically-correct" teachings of today..............having created a full generation of young adults with no concept of reality, and how this concept has set many up for initial failure in the real world (ON OR OFF THE TRACK).

MAXIM 1
Life is not fair; get over it and get after it.

MAXIM 2
The world doesn't care about your self-esteem. The world expects you to accomplish something BEFORE you deserve to feel good about yourself and even then the world doesn't care about your self-esteem.

MAXIM 3
You will NOT make "six figures" a year on a big SHOE contract right out of college. Truth is you'll have to struggle to balance work and training just to put yourself in a position to have success at the national championships.

MAXIM 4
If you think your professors were tough, wait 'till you get a boss. Your boss will not have tenure.

MAXIM 5
Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.

MAXIM 6
If you mess up, it is not someone else's fault; so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

MAXIM 7
Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes, and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try "delousing" the closet in your own room.

MAXIM 8
Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off, and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.

MAXIM 9
Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

MAXIM 10
Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

MAXIM 11
Soft coaching is not a professional service. No coaching is a disservice. Effective coaching is a communication process.
