"Rules Kids Won't Learn in School"

 

 

Rule #1. Life is not fair. Get used to it. The average teenager uses the phrase "it's not fair" 8.6 times a day. You got it from your parents, who said it so often you decided they must be the most idealistic generation ever. When they started hearing it from their own kids, they realized Rule #1.

 

Rule #2. The real world won't care as much about your self-esteem as your school does. It'll expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself. This may come as a shock. Usually, when inflated self-esteem meets reality, kids complain that it's not fair. (See Rule No. 1)

 

Rule #3. Sorry, you won't make $50,000 a year right out of high school. And you won't be a vice president or have a car phone either. You may even have to wear a uniform that doesn't have a Gap label.

 

Rule #4. If you think your teacher is tough, wait 'til you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure, so he tends to be a bit edgier. When you screw up, he is not going ask you how feel about it.

 

Rule #5. Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping. They called it opportunity. They weren't embarrassed making minimum wage either. They would have been embarrassed to sit around talking about Fifty Cent all weekend.

 

"Traffic Stop"

 

 

The patrol officer stopped a motorist for a
traffic violation.  Standing outside his
expensive foreign car, the red-faced driver
frantically waved his hands and jumped up and
down.  "I'll have your job for this!" he
shouted at the top of his lungs.

 

"Sir, you wouldn't want my job," replied the
unruffled officer as he wrote out the citation.
"The hours are long, the pay is low, and you
meet some of the nastiest people."

"Clergy Crowd Control"

 

 

A young clergyman, fresh out of seminary, thought it would help him better understand the fears and temptations his future congregations faced if he first took a job as a policeman for several months.

 

He passed the physical examination; then came the oral exam to test his ability to act quickly and wisely in an emergency.

 

Among other questions he was asked, “What would you do to disperse a frenzied crowd?” He thought for a moment and then said, “I would pass an offering plate.”
He got the job.

Have a Blessed Day
