  7. You are responsible for your own engagement.
  8. Work is not your family.
  9. The best way to get a job is to have a job.
  10. For every one hour you spend on the internet, spend six in the real world.
  11. Don’t spread office gossip unless it’s true.
  12. People notice if you don’t wash your hands.
  13. Save your money and work less.
  14. It’s better to smell good than look good.
