College knowledge_ nobody will tell you this.
you wouldn’t believe if were told in college that everyone struggles professionally at some point.
The degree and nature may vary. But these are the times when true answers are revealed.

- you dread and despise your college teachers, because you haven’t dealt with a person called boss
- your mistakes are yours, don’t blame others, learn from them and move ahead
- your parents were not so humdrum and boring, your upbringing has turned them that way
- you will find consolation prizes only in college, the rules of the professional life are different. losers don’t get the next chance
- you don’t have summer vacations or long holidays as in school and college, you will not get any extra time to learn, learn to do more than what is expected of you in the same time
