Sometimes your first steps into the "real world" send you falling flat on your
|
||
|
|
face. It's natural to be optimistic about new experiences, but most of us set
|
||
|
|
ourselves up only to be let down every time. And disappointment hurts like a
|
||
|
|
$%&*#.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>News flash: You don't have to be an Einstein to survive adult life. You don't
|
||
|
|
even have to abandon your standards to get what you want. All you have to do
|
||
|
|
is keep your expectations realistic.</p>

<p>Alright, right up front, let me say that it is weird to read a book about "How
|
||
|
|
to Survive Real Life When You Just Got Passed Your Teens and Now Need to Work
|
||
|
|
and Keep a Place and Have a Life" when you're 43. But here we are.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>One thing the book does (although a bit too flourish for my taste) is to
|
||
|
|
destroy all those dreams of a perfect life: Oh, you're out of your parents
|
||
|
|
apartment? Sure, you can have that huge loft Tom Hanks have in "Big", or a
|
||
|
|
nice apartment like the ones in "Friends"? NOT! Oh, sharing with someone you
|
||
|
|
go fine? It will be like "Friends", every day! SIKE!</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>So, yeah, it is not that bad, but it is not a dream.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>But instead of saying "Nope" all the time, the book tries to give some advice
|
||
|
|
on how to survive this dark times. I think it missed the point sometimes; for
|
||
|
|
example: dripping faucet? Hire someone. Why not buy two, play with one till
|
||
|
|
you understand how it fits and then try the other one. Sure, hiring someone
|
||
|
|
and watching over their shoulder how to do is something I do all this time --
|
||
|
|
I'm not kidding here -- but you can also experiment yourself. You'd pay
|
||
|
|
double, but if you manage to understand how things work, you'll have a spare
|
||
|
|
and if you break it, at least you got it shouldn't work.</p>
