What did you learn? How does it apply to the job you're seeking? These are important factors to explore. Wishing you success.

I had to chuckle at Rule 2-- Some of my most enjoyable work has come from places where I didn't think I'd have a chance in Hell. But it really is true-- People are often more willing to work with someone who is excited and ready to learn, than someone who knows it already but is too bored to do. Be honest, show enthusiasm, learn to not repeat mistakes and you will soon prove more valuable than an old, jaded hand who simply goes through the motions. Thanks for this great post!

One of my favorite rule breakers (since I am also a cancer survivor) is Lance Armstrong. He was not supposed to be able to make a comeback, let alone win the Tour de France so many times. According to those "in the know" his career was finished. It was his attitude that made all the difference and allowed him to win seven consecutive times AFTER cancer!

It is true that great friendships are based on "what is inside," but as far as society goes, the better opportunities are given to those who are better looking. Rule number 12 is a little wrong.

I think one particularly poignant lesson in this is that people always have spare time, whether or not they realize it. They can spend that watching TV or doing whatever, or they can commit that to something they believe in.

I'm so with you. I used to read a blog till it was taken over by this guy who uses $5 words and thinks so much of himself... I way prefer people who speak from the heart.
