So life is not what you expected it to be as an adult. When you were younger you could not wait to grow up because you expected things to be much easier, you assumed the following:
- You assumed that as an adult you get to do anything you want without consequences. WRONG, the consequences as an adult are even more severe than when you were young.
- You assumed that you would become unaccountable to anyone, go out all day, throw a big bash, watch TV all day, no chores, e.t.c. Well..... as an adult if you venture attempt that you are labeled irresponsible, lazy, a slob, no good and not trust worthy
- No responsibility at all and living on your own; well you soon realized that your parents' wealth is not your own, you have to work to earn a living, to cloth yourself (unlike when you were younger), make sacrifices, pay bills, transport yourself. you not only have to d all this, you also have to priorities as your salary cannot cover your excesses (weekly trips to the movies, restaurants, latest malls , buy of the latest accessories, weekly pedi's and Mani's, latest shoes and bags e.t.c)
- You Have all the time in the world, no more learning, no more competition, no more yes sir, yes ma. Dead Wrong, if you want to succeed in life you must continue to improve yourself, no time at all for play. Everybody is hustling and striving for the same job, the same promotion, the same opportunity, you must work harder than the everybody else, you must work smarter, you must always be on the alert, striving to improve yourself, not allowing yourself to assume that nobody can beat you to it. always put in your best and pray. As for the Yes Sir, Yes Ma, well its called boot licking, office politics or respect depending on the environment or who you are asking, however it is agreed that it is the common thing in any work environment.
