讓大學生一輩子受益的十件事
1. Avoid grad school in the liberal arts. 不要進文科類的研究生院。
One in five English Phd's find stable university jobs, and the degree won't help outside the university.
五分之一的英語博士能找到穩定的大學職位，但如果走出校門，這個學位就沒什麼用處了。
2. Skip the law-school track. 別上法學院。
Lawyers are the most depressed of all professionals. Lawyers are always acting on behalf of someone else. Suicide is among the leading causes of premature death among lawyers.
律師是所有職業中最壓抑的。律師總是代表別人去爭利。自殺是律師中第一號非正常死亡的原因。
3. Play a sport. 參加體育運動。
People who play sports earn more money than couch potatoes, and women executives who played sports attribute much of their career success to their athletic experience. You don't need to be great at sports, you just need to be part of a team.
從事體育的人要比整天躺在沙發上看電視的同學的收入高得多，而且從事過體育運動的女總裁們的運動經歷對她們的事業成功貢獻更大。你不必在運動上表現得非常出色，你只需成爲某個運動隊的成員之一。
4. Take an acting course. 上表演課。
Amos teaches executives to communicate authentically so that people will listen and feel connected. You need to learn to do this, too, and you may as well start in college.
《聖經·舊約》中的《阿莫斯書》教導管理者要真正做好溝通工作，這樣人們才能聽你的並且和你心有靈犀。你需要學着這麼做，並且最好從校園開始做起。
5. Separate your expectations from those of your parents. 不要按着父母的期待生活。
Otherwise you wake up and realize you're not living your own life.
否則你醒來時會發現過的不是自己想要的生活。
6. Define success for yourself. 以自己爲中心定義成功。
Society defines success very narrowly. Rather than defining success as financial gain or accolades, define it in terms of individual interests and personal happiness,"says Robbins.
社會將成功的概念定義得非常狹窄。與其將成功定義爲金錢或者名望，還不如將成功定義爲個人的興趣和個人的滿足感。
7. Learn to give a compliment. 學會讚美他人。
The best compliments are specific, so "good job" is not good. Practice on your professors. If you give a good compliment the recipient will think you're smarter: Big payoff in college, but bigger payoff in the work world.
最好的讚美要詳細明確，籠統的一句“幹得好”不算太有效。你可以拿你的教授來練習。如果你善於讚美他人，被讚美的人將會認定你是個聰明人：在校園裏讚美他人會得到不錯的回報，在職場中讚美他人會得到更多的回報。
8. Start a business in your dorm room. 從宿舍開始做生意。
It's cheap, Google and Yahoo are dying to buy your website, and it's better than washingdishes in the cafeteria. Note to those who play poker online until 4a.m.: Gambling isn't a business. It's an addiction.
這很便宜，谷歌和雅虎都會爭先恐後地買你弄出來的網站，這比餐館裏洗盤子強多了。提醒那些在線玩撲克到凌晨4點的朋友，賭博不是生意，賭博是癮。
9. Work your way through college. 靠勤工儉學讀完大學。
Each experience you have can grow into something bigger. A great bullet on the resume for a junior in college.
任何工作經驗都會對你的新工作有所幫助.讓你要靠打工讀完大學，積累工作經驗。簡歷上的工作經歷對於大學低年級的學生來說是一筆巨大的財富。
10. Make your job search a priority. 優先找工作。
Jobs do not fall in your lap, you have to chase them. Especially a good one. Use spread sheets to track your progress. And plan early.
你不可能不費吹灰之力就得到工作。工作、尤其是好工作需要你追着去找。你可以使用分析表去記錄你的進展，並早做計劃。
