          Life is neither pink nor easy as you think when you were a student. The university was where we faced the difficulties of a beginner, as well as where we found our good friends. The most amazing thing in college was when we realize who we are. We had the right to choose ideologies and perceptions of life. However, there are 11 lessons that universities did not teach you: 1. The knowledge in courses and classes cannot be used. The office workers next to you cannot participate in the courses you have attended. Two people from the different academic background, but the two of you still be respected and earn the same salary. No one will ask what you've learned in college, but you have to use that knowledge and experience to complete the assigned tasks. The college period has passed, and now your life is outside of lectures and textbooks. 2. In life, talent is important Your manager may be younger than you, but you'll have to call him the "boss". In college, a junior student could be older than you, still respected you, because you are a senior student. In real life, the respect is based on real talent. 3. The Art of communication. You may have learned personality development courses in college but in life you will realize the importance of good communication. You may need to propose to a girl, want to be promoted, or would like to discuss certain issues with neighbors. Communication skills can determine success or failure in life. 4. How to evaluate a person In college, a person could be your friend or your enemy, but in life you cannot predict the relationship between two people is. A good friend in the office can also take your opportunity so you must learn how to identify the characteristics of people around you. Actions may conflict with words. 5. You have to look at yourself, what you say, how you say, and who you talk to In college you can argue with a friend today, tomorrow you two still be friend. But in life it's a different story. In college, friends and others know you through words, but in life people will understand you according to their perception, not every word you uttered. 6. The network relationships are always helpful In college, friends are your world. But in life, you cannot exist without a network connection. You need a job, a new house, build a business, a social group. This means you need a good relationship with everyone. 7. Saving money is not easy You want to enjoy and discover the life, you want at heights of 900

              This all sounds to me like a bunch of BS written by some self-important a-hole who thinks I want to live my life the way he thinks it ought to be like. I'll bet he's even written a book or two on the subject.

                          I'd agree - but Chris isn't averse to a small amount of that - pride in your company and what it does is fine, and it doesn't link to the company, so it's subtle enough. There are a lot more blatant company plugs in bios already. I'd say give him a chance, see what he does with it. Not everybody here is a developer - heck, the Dalek is an accountant! :omg:

The college period has passed, and now your life is outside of lectures and textbooks. 2. In life, talent is important Your manager may be younger than you, but you'll have to call him the "boss". In college, a junior student could be older than you, still respected you, because you are a senior student. In real life, the respect is based on real talent. 3. The Art of communication. You may have learned personality development courses in college but in life you will realize the importance of good communication. You may need to propose to a girl, want to be promoted, or would like to discuss certain issues with neighbors. Communication skills can determine success or failure in life. 4. How to evaluate a person In college, a person could be your friend or your enemy, but in life you cannot predict the relationship between two people is. A good friend in the office can also take your opportunity so you must learn how to identify the characteristics of people around you. Actions may conflict with words. 5. You have to look at yourself, what you say, how you say, and who you talk to In college you can argue with a friend today, tomorrow you two still be friend. But in life it's a different story. In college, friends and others know you through words, but in life people will understand you according to their perception, not every word you uttered. 6. The network relationships are always helpful In college, friends are your world. But in life, you cannot exist without a network connection. You need a job, a new house, build a business, a social group. This means you need a good relationship with everyone. 7. Saving money is not easy You want to enjoy and discover the life, you want at heights of 900

                              Oh, I feel sooo inspired now! :laugh: But seriously, "unlimited human resources" (from profile) is just a slight overstatement right? :laugh: Too bad I can't downvote!

                                  All true, but...you do look like a spammer...and we don't like them...not at all... So be a little careful - you are close to the edge with your profile already, and if this post had had any links at all, I'd be deleting it and your account would be on it's way to the bin... This you can get away with. But be careful...please.

                                    I don't - I just suspect that he is, or will be if given a chance. It's platitudes, no real value or new stuff, and his user name and profile indicate he is a recruiter. It's his first post, and he just joined. Which means it's a "practiced piece" intended to make us think of him as "competent" (which given he's a recruiter is highly unlikely). While this contains no spam, it's clearly meant to establish that the company he works for is good, interested in the recruit rather than just the money (which is even less likely). So...a warning shot rather than an outright report-and-clobbering session as he could be innocent, and a really good recruiter. There must be one out there, mustn't there? Please? :laugh:
