Book Excerpt:
Finally, after four or six years of hard work, studying and a bit of partying, you have graduated from college. You must be so excited. Heck, I'm excited for you. But you must be wondering if there is more to life than just getting a job. Let me tell you, there is. Fancy that.
Yes, college has prepared you to be proficient in your major, but my goal is to prepare you to function in the real world. Now, I'm not going to promise that you are going to learn everything there is to know about surviving and thriving in the real world from this book, but I'll give you enough to get you started.
There is so much out here in the world I can't wait for you to experience. Maybe you think there is nothing that will impress you and that is a sad thought. But really think about it. You are an adult. You can do whatever you want. You could get arrested if you are breaking the law but overall, the world is really yours for the taking. Like Nas rhymed, "Whose world is this?" And the chorus replied, "The world is yours." Take comfort in that. You are in the position to make your life whatever you want it to be. You are the artist standing before the canvas that is your life.
What are you going to paint?
