By: Reader's Digest

     Congratulations, school leaves and graduates. Welcome to the real world where there are no end of term breaks and Christmas holidays start on the night of December 24. Some of your predecessors have compiled some wise bits of advice. They go like this:

     Having a drink with the boys every night after work is a bad idea. Notice that the boss does not do it. That's why he's the boss and they're the boys.
    Buy and alarm clock that works.
    Never date a girl whose father calls her "Princess. " Most probably she believes it.
    If you don't like your job, quit. Otherwise, shut up.
    Dirty laundry never goes away.
    Be nice to ordinary people. You're still one of them.
   No one sells a car because it runs too well.
   Someday your family will be all you have. Treat them right.
   There is no such a thing as free lunch.
