Take my advice...

When I was in sixth grade my teacher told me that I'd better master writing in cursive because when I got to high school all my teachers would make me use it. Once I got there my teachers wouldn't accept anything unless it was typed.
In college my advisor made me take generals that would help me to branch out as a person because it was important to be well rounded in today's market place. All the employers I'm talking to now just want to now if I've passed the actuarial tests or not. Nobody asked if I took Art History.
I've been thinking about the advice I was given growing up. Advice such as, "Take responsibility for your actions. If you mess up, admit it and move one. Don't blame your decisions on others."

I guess that stuff wasn't true either.
