Here's my contribution to the cacaphony:
- Who you are, as a person, trumps what college you graduated from, your GPA, your honors, etc.
- Depend on your talents, integrity and faith for your economic welfare.
- No one owes you anything -- not a chance, not a paycheck, nothing.
- Do not expect any opportunity until you demonstrate value to the other person.
- The hard times wil turn out to be, in retrospect, the best times.
- Save 20 cents of every dollar for the uncertain future.
- Start every day meeting with the Lord for a few minutes to read the Bible and to pray.
